is clear glass and the limb core is Ash. Riser is Walnut and maple accent
-30 lbs, the one on the right I made the limb core with hickory and ash and
black bo-tuff. The riser is walnut and ash. Turned out at 47 lbs @28″. They
both shoot great. I still have a lot to learn about making bows, but thanks
to Bingham Projects I am able to make bows now.”
