60 lbs. @ 28" and 66" nock to nock.
 
Tempered bamboo limb cores with glass reinforcement sandwiched between the bamboo and black glass on the back and belly. Cocobolo riser and bloodwood for the accents. Limb tips have phenolic and cocobolo overlays.
 
The only thing pending is the leather work for the grip wrap, shelf and strike plate.
 
I hope I become good enough to do this bow justice.
 
Thank you Nate. Not just for a beautiful bow but for your patience and friendship. I wish you great success.
