Title: Another BBI (full draw pics added)
Post by: knightd on August 21, 2008, 11:30:44 pm

I just finished this one well the finish ain't dry enough to string it.. It is 63"NTN 48# at 28" boo backed Ipe with a Osage handle stiffener in between the boo and Ipe. The handle is purple hart,Ipe and cocobolo limb tip over lays are Ipe and Osage.  Stained the boo burgundy color. I will post more pics tomorrow after it is dry..

Ha Ha, you got me on that one. I was trying to figure out what was going on in that third picture.  The boo looks like it was spliced or lifting or something.  I finally figured out it was a funny angle on the arrow rest.  :-[ Another great looking bow there partner.  Justin
