Pure Michigan-Beauty
« on: March 18, 2015, 03:34:00 PM »
Picked up my Two Tracks Pure Michigan Longwalker today from Chuck Deschler.  We discussed woods back in December and I settled on American Elm veneers, a Walnut/Osage riser and I believe maple cores.  I think he hit it out of the park!  These veneers are absolutely stunning.  I also had him build it with a straight grip since I seem to shoot them better.  Overall she's 64", and 43#'s @28" draw.

It was good to see again Rick, Happy the bow pleases you.  It turned out very well I think.
The core wood is American Black Walnut.

Enjoy it and good luck at wildthings.

That elm is awesome.  Nice combo with the osage and walnut.

Chuck is the master with his creations and they perform better than all I've tried.

Enjoy!   :thumbsup:
