Congratulations to misslemaster for winning November/December SelfBow BOM!!!
http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,35760.0.html

Cody wins with his first ever Molly.


Here is what Cody had to say about his bow:  Well, I finally went and did it. I built myself a molly!

    After seeing the bows Blackhawk has been cranking out, I had to try my hand at it. She's a 50/50 design(half lever, half working limb.) This is also my first attempt at snakeskin backing. I dont think I need to tell you that this bow is a screamer, and the smoothest drawing bow I have ever made.(You were right Chris, they are fun and addicting!!) This will definitely not be my last. I could have gone a bit narrower on the levers, but this was my first and also, the bow has a bit of propeller twist and I was worried about the stability factor.

  Here are the specs:  Osage orange,
                                   60" NTN
                                   55# @ 27"
                                   2" at the widest point of the limb,
                                   3/4" at the base of the lever, tapering to a hair over 3/8" at the tip,
                                   8 heavy coats of gloss spar urethane and using pumice to get a
                                   satin finish.
  I hope you guys like it as much as I enjoyed building it.  I'd like to thank Chris (Blackhawk) for his help with this bow. He is, in my opinion the "molly master".  Thanks for looking,

                               Cody
 


Here are what some forum members had to say about: 
That is an awesome bow right there!  Uncleduck
WoW that is nice! Cody that's as close to lever tipped perfection as I have ever seen. You young guys crankin' out all these suhweet bows make me fee lazy cuz i'm not keepin up. And you also make me ask myself "why didn't I start doin this when I was a lot younger?" Love the Strunk grip wrap.  randman
Man that is a beautiful bow! I was thinking of posting a couple of bows that I just finished, but after seeing yours and some of the others I'm having second thoughts! Anyway Cody that is a seriously nice bow! Good Job!    Dale
Nice.  I love the way those wide working limbs let you get the whole diamond to show in that snakeskin.  Your finish work is really top notch.  Beautiful bow!  George

Congratulations Cody!  Another well deserved win.  That bow raised the already impossibly high bar that you seem to hold yourself too.  Well done!  Josh
