This is the first of four blanks I got from David. It's been done for a while, but I finally got some pics. It's 64"ntn and 36#@27". It came from one of David's medium r/d blanks. I intended for it to be closer to 50#, but I had quite a bit of trouble figuring out how to tiller it right. David spent a lot of time talking and emailing pics back and forth with me to help me get it.....still not sure it's ideal, but I think it's pretty close and it shoots very well. I could pike it and gain some poundage, but I finally got my wife outside to try it out, and she liked it and shot it quite well so I decided to give it to her. I'm not too happy with the job I did on the handle wrap, but it does feel good. I laminated the tip overlays with bocote and shedua to match the woods in the handle. I put a finish of tru-oil on it to seal and protect it. I've found that I enjoy shooting it a lot myself...with the low poundage it's a lot easier to shoot a tight group...at least for me! Well, I have two kid's blanks almost done for my boys that I'll be posting soon, and a high r/d blank to work on for me. Thanks for looking!
