It looks beautiful Trenton. Is it as good as you had hoped? Nothing would please me more than to see EW bring this bow into the game for you as well. Good luck either way, and enjoy your new toy!

Nice, hope it will serve you well. It looks like from a store, well done. It has been a pleasure to follow its building process from a scratch.

Thanks guys!
Jimbo, aside from the small gap in the riser overlay, I'm very happy with it. It shoots faster than my 62 pound longbow, which shows the advantage of the deflex reflex design. I'm excited to finish it up and start doing some serious shooting with it.

The bow is finished! Gave it the final rub down today and called it good. It's really nice looking now that it's all shiny (but not too shiny). The weather is supposed to be really nasty tomorrow, so I don't know if I'll get any outdoor pics. If it's nice though, I'll snap a few.

Wow looking good Trenton! You really have an amazing ability. It's a real pleasure reading about it, and seeing the finished product after all the hours you've put into it. I hope you have many years of enjoyment with it out in the woods. Have you decided on a name for it yet? Ol' Smoky?
I can't wait to buy one myself so I can try it out on some big bad beautiful boars in Hirschfelden! (Classic and/or COTW!!!) Did you hear that EW??? In case you didn't, here it is again with the volume cranked:

Thanks guys!
Jimbo, I didn't put a name on it but I'll always think of it as Ol' Smokey. I didn't even realize what you typed in bold at first. I thought it was just part of your signature like Buckkiller's

Sometimes big is actually TOO big. And then we just can't see the forest for the trees!
Here's my signature:
