Rod, That's a cracking looking bow. I like the blue contrast of the dymondwood.

Very nice Rod, the black wattle looks fantastic.

I like the I-beam riser construction as well. It gives you piece of mind that a small unseen flaw in the riser timber won't propagate right through the entire riser as it could for a single piece of wood.

Cheers….. Rod

Good to see the curves taking hold there Rod, I've said it before there just isn't enough one piece curves around these days.

Nice to see a little conkerberry being used mate.

Cheers Wayno.

Really classy looking Rod

I'd really like to see a thread with photos of your first bow and a few in middle up to current one.

Just to see the evolution!
