"red falcon" trilam longbow

This bow is a trilam bamboo backed Morado ( kind of purple heart) bloodwood longbow , sort of " Hill style".
It was laminated with 2,5" perry reflex, almost 1 " of reflex is left after the tillering process.
The bow is 68" N/N
54# @ 28" not shoot in yet, will probably end at around 50# @28"
All overlays are deer antler.
Here pulled at around 24"
sorry about the bad pics, but the weather wasn't that good today and I have an old digi cam.
try to get some better ones when the sun is shining

Really nice bow!
Heard of that Morado stuff before; is it good in compression? Where did you get it??

@all: Thank you
@medicinewheel: It was sold last year in a local DIY market.
It's not good under compression, I tried several bows with it as a belly lam and all of them crysels at 50# .
You will need Urac or Bindan cin for gluing, Epoxy / normal woodglue didn't work.

Wonderful craftsmanship. No full draw, though. Why don't you have the buyer email me a full draw for Bow of the Month?
