It has been a while since I posted a bow here so I thought I would show my latest. Wenge and maple riser with black glass and bamboo cores. It came out at 58@28" and I couldn't be happier with how smooth the draw is.

I looked at a lot of proven designs before I made the form for this bow and I tried to incorporate them into this.

Although I really like the looks of the wenge, it was really difficult for me to work with due to the fact that the dust gave me a terrible headache. I wont say that I will never use it for bow wood again, I will say it wont be my first choice....

Killer looks. Wenge and maple is one of my absolute favorites, and with the black glass/maple cores it's just awesome

Very nice looking bow! What is the riser length that you used?

Thadbow · « **Reply #10 on:** January 16, 2015, 04:30:00 AM »

Thanks for the kind words gang...

John, Im sure I will have it at both Sawmill and Denton this year if you would like to send a few arrows through her... and hopefully one off the same form in the 40lb range for my little guy...

The riser is 17.5"

I don't comment a lot in here but when credit is due like it is here I go fer it. That is sweet design and the craftsmenship is very high. I too love the look of wenge but hate working it with the dust and splinters and terrible to fill the pores.

God bless, Steve
