            Very nice Alex! That bow is in for some amazing adventures.

            I am building a bow for myself right now using Ironwood and hickory in the riser and Shedua veneers. It will be about the same in specs as yours as far as draw weight and length at 62″. It will be my first attempt at a take-down sleeve similar to the BW design. I have always loved their bows but have not had the pleasure of owning one.

              Thanks Cameron! You might not have the pleasure to own one, but you have the knowledge and ability to make your own, which I’m sure gives you immense pleasure! I know it would me!! Let us see it once completed!

                    I’ve watched Big Jim’s video on making the sleeve. Thought about trying it myself. Take some pictures as you go in case you want to share. Sure would like to hear how it goes….

                      Great looking bow Alex !!! Would never know it’s a takedown except for the 16129. TD . Great photos as well. Having a little trouble figuring out the back drop , something with a dark back is as close as I can come ??? Bruce

                        Bruce, that’s a Queen size blanket made from the hides of about a dozen of Tibetan goats.

                                And you really arnt making it any easier.

                                Enjoy Alex.

                                    That white outline sure does look sharp compared to the red! Really gives it a clean look. Gotta love a new BW! Congrats on the new bow!
