Riser Wood: Cocobolo and Hawaiian Koa wood
Limbs: bamboo core with coco and koa split limb veneers.
Extras: Checkering in the riser.

Thanks.  I started doing checkering recently to my bows.  It really adds to the design but the big thing for me is the grip is greatly improved.  Just feels like a vise!  :)

Great looking stick! I bet it shoots pretty darn nice too! One of my all time favorite wood combos!

Thanks! ITs a 25" riser with long limbs to get to 72". The customer has a draw lenth of 32" and is about 6ft 8".  He is a tall man and needs a big bow for target shooting. The longest bow I have made since this was a 68".
