Bamboo back bows. Sorry ,Don't have full draw pics of the one as i sold it to a gal in alabama, The other in wisconcin. Thought you guys might get a kick out of the colors.I use all natural materials except for the urac 185.The action wood is bought and bamboo from david knight.Great stuff, I might add.All other wood i cut and grind my own. One is ash and the other is osage. enjoy Denny

What do you use for the arrow shelf padding? I ask because whatever stain I use, it ends up rubbing off on the arrows. Which is bugging the crud outta me. :) Great bows btw. I always want to cut everything myself, but just have to dream till I get the right tools. :( Very nice risers.

Nice bows, Denny. Your handles are really cool.
I bet you used the soft side of the sticky-backed velcro for your arrow pass didn't you? I use it too on my bows I cut a shelf into. That stuff is whisper quiet. Nice work! :)

Good to see a bit of your individual style in those grips sort of smooth but chunky at the same time and not over contoured, blends in nicely with the squareish back of the bow profile.
Oh dear, I'm sounding like an arty film critic now... The smooth nocks are redolent of Fellini's early work, they hold us in tension with a hint of darkness pervading the ending of what was an alltogether brilliant film limb ::)

First thanks for your welcomes. I do use velcro josh. I do have leather and other material. just is cheap and quiet. My preference is sealskin, but 10.00 a bow is in the budget.I love beaver tail handles too! I will show you guys a pic of one if you like. Thanks again for your kind words. Here is another pic I left out. Denny
