snedeker:
the flooring stuff also called Brazilian Redwood, masaranduba, taxonomic reality = Manilkara bidenta in the Sapotaceae family.  I tried one from some trade wood with matt simpson  (huntersim) last summer and it delamed and broke.  I think i had a bad bottle of TB3 last year cause I had four bows go that way.  This one is from spliced 36" stock I got from Mechslasher (Chris Cade).  63", 60#/27". ipe handle and osage tip overlays.  Retained 1 .5 inch reflex.  Maybe the smoothest shooting bow Ive made.  THe wood really turns gorgeious with truoil
