Here's my first bow off my new form. It's 64" and pulls 50#@28". Osage backed with Bamboo with Sapele accents. This thang shoots hard and is dead quite too. I gave it a light coat of red mahogony stain and sealed her up with poly. Let me know what ya think. ... and it's all wood!
I used 2 pieces of 1/2" plywood and 2 pieces of 1/4". It's 70" long and 1 1/4" wide. I use a long bungie cord to strap the bow in the form and the holes are for my clamps to pull it into the deflex/reflex until I can get her all wrapped up. I wrap the limbs in innertube before strapping it to the form. I wish I had taken pics of this bow while in the form... but I didn't. I'll try to remember to take pics when I glue up my next one.
Not only did folks like the bow but they really like the form!!- "Wow nice bow there Okie! Tiller and finish work are outstanding!" josh

Okie, that bow is truly beautiful. It's so graceful and scream power. Oh, the form is a work of art, also. Class act all the way around." hedgeapple
