Yup gotta agree, she looks real nice and the Grumley style brush gaurds just add to its beauty and character.

Very nice.  Would love to see the handle and double shelf, although honestly I'm repulsed by it's proposed purpose.

Very sweet bow Chris. Those recurves look great and tiller looks right on. I bet that's a quick shooting bow.  Keenan

Excellent bow.  Did you have much trouble lining up the tips?  That has always been my big worry on these kinds of bows.

Really nice lines.
I guess the recurves are steamed in? How do you then shape the other lams onto the recurve for the rbush nocks?
Now I am wondering if I could make one of those in Ipe/Hickory or Ipe/Boo.

     Nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, I shot it too. You said you weren't  going to post that ol' dog. ;) Just kidding, It's one of the prettiest and smoothest shooting bows I've shot. Chris, I still have a few Damascus knives.  ::)

thanks guys!  i started on this bow last june.  with all that's going on it's taken me that long to finish it up.  a few more specs, the fades are 1.5" tapering to a point with just under 3" statics.  i used bison horn for the tip overlays and steam to bend the tips.  i hand rubbed 8 coats of tru-oil and then went over the finish with stock conditioner to give a satin finish.  i think i used my 60 degree form on this bow.  i put rests on both ends of the grip because i noticed the lower limb of some short statics start to take a little more set after 500-700 shots.  didn't want that to happen to this bow.  never really checked the weight while i was tillering this bow out so i was surprised to find out the weight was 65#, she feels like 60.  i wish i could go into detail about how i put the brush nocks on but it is a patented cade technique (steve and eddie will get this joke), but if everyone will keep a secret i used 1/8" strips of osage and walnut.  heat them up with a heat gun, put on a little titebond, and clamp them down to fit the bend.  the bow should slide through the bushes with ease with these brush nocks.  i really can't feel any handshock with this bow.  eddie and steve shot her a couple times, maybe they can add something as to how she feels.  here are a few more pics.
