I finally took some pictures of my new Florida Sugar Maple bow. It is 68" long and 47# @ 29" It has Black Walnut tip overlays and a chocolate deer leather grip. I flipped the tips and tempered the belly before rubbing several coats on ebony stain into it. I steel wooled it down and then stained over top the ebony with antique maple stain and poly. I love the way the colored turned out. I am also very happy with how she shoots too! I have to over draw it like an English Longbow to get the full draw out of it. thanks for looking at it!- Ryan

Pretty much up to your usual high standards, buddy! Nice bow, indeed.
Just one question? Where do you find chocolate deer? I will be skinning some chocolate bunnies at easter time and I hope they tan as nice as the leather you used for your grip.

That's incredible! I love the dark stain on it! You been shooting melanistic deer (http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac144/rvasicek/2006Melanisticbuck.jpg)?
