BBR
« on: December 19, 2010, 06:37:24 pm »
I have no idea if this will work. I have had a hard time getting the pictures reduced. But this is a bamboo backed rosewood bow I finished this fall. Made of bolivian rosewood (Morado) with bamboo backing from David Knight, who provided me with top notch bamboo. I am totally happy with his bamboo. It is ^&" t2t and 50# @28" The morado that I got seems tough and dense, and it has taken almost no set - about 3/4" after shooting, then relaxes to less than 1/2"

nice looking bow. the cut out shelf looks better with the minimized handle like yous as compared to a bulbous pistol grip. gotta love the braced photo. good work.

Nice looking bow. The 2 colors offset each other great. Can't wait to see the full draws.

That so looks like yew (a very good thing in my opinion)
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Thanks, everyone. I will try to get a full draw picture today or tomorrow. It is kind of tricky since my wife and daughter have both been working the last 3 days so I have no one to take pictures.
