Gorilla Bow
PEARL DRUMS:
Nice and clean. I like it.
bjrogg:
Very nice bend simk. I’m not comfortable at 32” either. That’s a good 7” more than my draw.
From the looks of the bend. I’d say you got the length right to

superdav95:
I should commission you to make me one of these. My wing span is very long too. I’d love to shoot a 32” draw bow.
George Tsoukalas:
She sure is pretty with a beauty of a tiller! Nicely done! Jawge
simk:
thanx everybody :)
looking at the pictures again and again top limb (right) seems to have a stiffer spot towards midlimbs, maybe a little more scraping required.
Bloodwood Kidder? You can't steam or heat bend it, very oily - thus difficult to glue, sinks in water and set's my drumsander on fire - lol - but sure its pretty and does not show noticable set. this one still has the 2" reflex that was glued in originally. better than IPE. The use of bloodwood is historically proven for victorian longbows of the 19th century. Imho it it asks a 3-lam construction to keep the mass low.
cheers
