Nice unstrung profile, Drums.  Your full draw is great too.  I'm liking them recurves you've been doing.  Very nice job.

Man Pearl, that's a beauty! I noticed the color of the skin changes near the tips and I really like the contrast.  Is this something that occurs naturally on the snake or did you do something to make it look that way?  I've never worked with WDB skins or even seen a live rattlesnake.

Hey PD,  that is just a fine example of a hunting bow.  Really nice.

Whats your experience with statics vs. working recurves at 64".  Seems to me once they get 66 or 68 you start running into trouble with extra non-bending mass with statics, but somewhere below 64-64"  you still get the benefit.

Thats what db's look like naturally Adam. Some are more brown, some are more black, but they all have the same basic pattern. I like to use the black/white bands at the tips if the skins include them still.

I dont buy the diminishing returns thing Gabe, and heres why. When I make a 64-68" flat bow or long bow I leave at least 8" stiff on each tip, thats dead weight as we all know. I have a few static forms I use. The form I used on this longer bow was quite tight and actually uses less than 8"of tip to make. So now I can make a longer static that has equal, or less weight at the tips and still dramatically change the string angle. And the string lays on the bows belly at brace, effectively "shortening" the bow after release.

Nice job Chris. It seems like each bow you build gets a little better...or is that my imagination?? ::)
