Thanks Lyle! David's a great guy to work with. You really won't regret his course. This is the first bow I've ever built!
I stained the 'boo with Feibings leather dye. All over with medium brown & then faded black in the center & tips.
She's 66" & I tillered her to draw 66#@32" I actually draw this particular bow to a shade under 31" & I wanted to mke sure there was margin for error. David wasn't 100% sure it could be tillered to draw that far, but after a lot of time flexing it on the tree, it landed just perfectly.
The handle wrap is flat leather thong & the arrow rest is a small antler tip, carved & steamed to conform to the curves of the handle.

Great job on the pig and the bow. I've built a few BBO bows and been thinking of building a Boo backed IPE. After seeing that bow, I know I have to get going on one.

Ca hog looks like might tip the scales at 799, but who's counting.
Congrats on a great hunt.

Congrats!
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.
