my 1st boo backed bow "UPDATED"

64" ntn whiteoak and bamboo, pulling somewhere around 50#
i used a torch to darken up the bamboo
i still have to seal it and wrap the handle but here it is so far.
i will post pics at full draw and brace when i get it sealed.
i put reflex in it when i glued it up but most of it is gone now

Nice! I like the look of flamed bamboo, it really blends in with the woods.

Nice torch job Catfish! Tiller looks real good too! It's a bit harder to hold reflex using white oak with bamboo so don't worry about that. But it should be a very durable bow.

Very nice Catfish, For your first Boo backed you did great. I like the pattern that you did on the back and like someone said would like more pics. Keenan
