Perfect design for the woods used....nice job Bub :) my two most favorite bows to shoot the last year are narrow 66"ntn bendys very similar to this(except narrower tips ;) ..) Smooth,stable,accurate,n packs a punch.

That paduak it's striking with the stained boo.  The tiller is perfect, and I really like the color of the longhorn tips too.  Well done all around.

Very nice bow there Bub.  I love that design.  Smooth and simple looking but far from simple.  Great job

  VERY nice.  Paduak is one of the woods I wanted to make a bow from so badly, but gave up on after a couple attempts.  I had a heck of a time with it cryshaling; it seemed to have good strength and stiffnesss, and little elasticity.  It would actually fracture and crumble away.  Same with purpleheart, and less so wenge.

I might have to give it another go.  So pretty.

Thanks springbuck, like blackhawk said long and narrow works good for this wood combo
