Hickory backed Massaranduba

Yes, I added about 2 inches of reflex which all of but about 1/2" was pulled out. This is my third bow and I won't tell you how many I that I splintered while attempting to add reflex. Thanks for the compliments and for all the helpful information that made this bow a shooter, my next bow Will be a selfbow without an arrowseat :) Painting my shed is also on the list.

a finnish native:
I like the skins and the tips. The outer thirds of both limbs are showing to be a bit stiff among with the lower mid limb.

PS: don't get me wrong. I don't mean to be rude, it's just that in my culture people say what they think. We Finns are quiet and can seem a bit rude by your standards.

the bow has no visible string follow though, and that tells that the wood is not over stressed from any point.

Pappy:
Very nice bow.Love the contrast of colors. :) Tiller looks good also.

Good looking bow, that Massaranduba is good stuff isn't it.  I have a R/D hickory-backed Massaranduba glueup, waiting for a handle piece.  Its only 1" wide, I found on my first one that 1.5" required me to really thin the limbs a ton in order to get in the 50lb range.

Beautiful bow. I love the tips.
