Heres a piece of crapberry...ehemm...I mean hackberry....42@26"....61" ntn....14 ounces mass weight....dyed hemp wrap handle...jicarillo tip overlays...and the handle justs starts to bend right at an inch before full draw..has a lil bit of prop twist..it has an interesting side profile that I just went with it...its slightly setback in the handle then has deflexed kinks at the fades,then reflexes all the way out to the tips...its a smooth fast shooter for its low weight and has a well above average cast....I seriously thought it was at least over a 50 pound bow until I just weighed it before posting...I might give it to my wife as it would be her weight at her draw and a good length for her. if it doesn't fit her maybe itll end up on the raffle table at the classic

You big meany Cody! That bow is precious, like a newborn and all. On a serious note, Id hate to tiller it.....whew.

Thanks guys....I think ::)
I called it crapberry cus its crapped on me the three previous ones...although I had made quite a few before those three without a hitch....but when it does hold together it makes a light in the hand fast shooting bow as this one is

That has a wicked cool look to it Chris, especially that front profile with the wide twisty limbs and narrow tips. That deflex out of the
fades would of messed me up big time if I were trying to tiller that one. Looks like you handled it well and got a really nice and unique bow for your efforts. Cool bow 8)

I like the side profile unstrung on that one. another cool looking bow Chris

Ahhh, so this is the one. Nice shooter out of a punky little stave. It almost has a mild 5-curve look unbraced. Well done!

Nice looking bow. Hackberry is nice stuff grows pretty straight and tall with no branches.
