The paintjob looks great,nice work :OK

superdav95:
Thanks guys!  I enjoy making these in between other bows as they build pretty quick.  I did some shooting the other day before staining it and couple coats of tru oil. I’ll post some pics and full draw pics once it dries in a day or so and finish up the final wraps.  I’ll likley post a quick video too of some speed testing.  Thanks for looking. 

Stay tuned….

Cheers.

Great work! Those indeed look tempting to me. But if the boo is long enough, why not making it a 3 piece with glued on handle? Cheers!

superdav95:
Thanks simk.  The poles I get locally are 5-6” diameter roughly and about 10 feet long but it’s harder to get longer limb sections with out vertical cracks.  I have done a few of the 3 piece ones too but harder to get good sections long enough.  I can easily get 25” long sections generally even from left over pieces.  This is why the 5 piece for me are more convenient it allows me to use up the smaller sections. 

Thanks for looking.
