Awesome bow El D   The artwork came out great.  I can't wait to get home to try one of those.  Hopefully my house doesn't take up all my time this summer

Well here it is in all it's Splendor...I am done tweaking it....It's not supposed to be a Beauty Queen anyways!! The Bow is 66 inches long 64 NTN.... 2 1/4" wide at the widest parts of the Paddles....It carrys 2 1/2" of Reflex after Shooting and being Unstrung...and relaxing to 3 1/2" in less than an Hour of Resting...The Final Stats are...73# @ 28" of Draw...Shoots with great Authority....Hits right where I Aim....I am very Happy with the way it turned out...and the way it looks...I was going to put a Leather Grip on it...have it all cut and ready...but I really like the way it looks right now....What do You think...Grip Leather ...or No Grip Leather??

Here are a few Pictures of the Finished Bow...Hope that You like it

Ooooh I almost forgot the Money Shots......... Now please pay attention to the Workmanship and Detail that went into this Bow...not the Sexy 6'2" Tall 235 pound Hunk that is weilding it.....I have been working all Winter on that 30-Pack...and I am proud to Show It Off in my New Sweats........ ....I was going for a Manny Padrone Shot...but there is a foot of White Stuff still on the Ground...and now it's Raining PrairieDogs out there...so this will have to do!!  Kinda Looks Like Fatbastard from The Spy Who Shagged Me.......

LOL Fat bastard loved that scene

Mike the bow is stunning, that is one of nicest pieces of birdseye I've ever seen and living where I do I've seen lots of it
The Paint job is over the top, tiller is excellent, and the attention to detail is stupendous BOM material for sure even though
its not an osage recurve Sorry just couldn't resist I suffer from a bad case of impulsiveness donchano eh

Ok so when ya gonna make me a 45-50 lber at 25"? in other words a kids bow

Glad ya spared us the Manny shots, not a pretty sight

[Lombard]

Mike, you and Jawge, must share the same fashion consultant ;-)

[El Destructo]

I told ya to admire the Bow.......... .........Yeah....I do love My Sweats...and in the Summer...it's Tank Tops...and Shorts....

And Dana.... Nothing I make is ever BOM Material......been proving it for Years Now.....I am just glad that some like them...but in the end...all that matters is....I like them.......

[JustAim]

 Looks like BOM material too me. Very Nice!

El D
That is one heck of a bow.  Absolutely Beautiful. The combo of the birdseye and the paintwork is great.  Tiller looks really fine also...........  Now, those sweats are another story all together.
