    Finally got a chance to finish this bow up. Cut the osage two years ago and ground the lams last year. Glued it all up last fall and just recently got a chance to tiller it out and shape it. Its a bamboo backed, quad lam (boo, ipe, osage, ipe), R/D long bow, 64" ntn, 68# @ 28". I laminated the tips with elk antler, osage, and whitetail deer antler. I added about an inch of static reflex with the laminated tips.

    Very beautiful bow.

    The wood coloration was very well matched.

    just purely out of curiosity (for now) what would it cost to have someone, you or someone as good as you, build me a bow? that thing is absolutely beautiful!
