some of my stuff
« on: January 14, 2012, 02:47:38 pm »
I'm new around here and some of the guys were asking for pictures. Hopefully I do this right. The first 3 pics are a R/D hick/ash and a hick/wenge. The last picture is some finished and unfinished stuff. Sorry no full draw shots(i am on baby duty with no one around).

Great looking 'stuff' sir. Glade to have you here!

Hi Paul,

The hickory backed wenge looks awesome, I have some hickory and wenge lying around could you tell my a bit more about using wenge as a belly wood? Is it hard to tiller? Does it chrysal easily?

And how does this bow preform? If I remeber correctly wenge is pretty heavy, any handschock??

Greetings,

Stefan
