Title: BBR
Post by: NTProf 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 2 colors offset each other great. Can't wait to see the full draws.

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.
