This bow is my fourth, and first actual sale. To none other than our ol buddy Homey88.
I thought of posting a build along but honestly I didn't think to take pictures as I built til once I had it farther along.
So I'll post a few now that I'm 5 days into it. I have a lot to do yet. He wanted a 64" 45# bow. I have my figures somewhat close for a 62" but I built this as if it was a 50# in 62". Wow the extra two inches knocked off a good 8 lbs. I am glad Mike is ok with it. It is going to finish @ 42#. This is part of the learning curve.
The bow is elm limbs under clear glass, walnut riser and zebra wood overlays. Black glass accents. Just like the last bow I built.
