This is my most recent bow to date and with all the problems happening with the poor quality of clear glass might be the last for a while, as i need more coloured glass and other supplies, as well but the high cost of shipping combined with the crappy exchange rate means I have to order it all at the one time.This is for a lady with a shortish draw, and is 45# at 28'' but at her length it's 38# The belly is done with the 'faux' snake skin from 3 rivers, but with the exchange rate etc, 2 pair 'skins' [2 bows worth one limb each] cost me $96!!! Riser is Charcoal actionwood/ Osage and it might be the last actionwood for some time also as the factory that makes the actionwood burned down and I'm not sure it is going to be rebuilt. The bow is 62'' NTN.

I'm not normally a big fan of action wood, but that bow does look nice. 8)

I'm not a big fan either Mick, preferring the warmth of 'natural' wood, but certain combinations of actionwood combined with natural wood can look fairly deadly.
