Brown is beautiful

#1 Post by bigbob » Fri Oct 11, 2013 9:03 am

Few shots of a relatively light one just completing for an order. Its 66 NTN and goes 36# @ 28''. The riser I believe is american Oak/ Acacia doolalia with 4 lams of coffe and natural 'boo .The nock overlays are white and blacK phenolic and Wenge. I cant find out much about the doolalia except is is dense, good to work and has an agreeable colour.

Hey Bob,

doolalia? - are you sure that is the name in reference to the timber or perhaps the operator? :lol:

looks good mate. :biggrin: Is that the bow going on a little journey?

cheers
