First Backed Bow
« on: April 10, 2007, 07:57:32 pm »
this bow is white ash with Brazilian cherry backing, 65"ntn. 2"@the fades to 1/2"@the nocks.  54lbs @ 26" of draw.  I recurved the tips for speed and smooth draw.  The tip overlays are bamboo, it's a sweet shooter.

That IS nice.. :)
I didn't think Braz. Cherry would work as backing! ::) I'm currently using it for bellywood backed with Hickory.
