Michael Angelo

#1 Post by stumper »

Today it arrived, finally here. My very first left handed bow made from my absolute favorite woods. 66” 43lbs left hand. Riser is bubinga and limbs are red cedar which varies red to a striking golden color. I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking..... Jose you are a master craftsman. Michael Angelo......

Pics don’t even do it justice. It’s a first on a lot of levels. First take down long bow, first lefty, longest bow, and definitely prettiest.

I do have season left. But being my first left I may need some practice. Under my dominate eye I will not be gapping anymore.

Here are some photos in the light....the woods are beautiful together.... The inlay is hundreds of layers of various woods laminated together to make the inlay. The riser is a custom length, shortened 2" for a more compact bow. The limbs are made as a 68" bow but the AMO is actually 66" because of the riser. It is a very smooth bow. Can't wait until Dave gets to shoot it!!
