Well here is the other end of the beauty spectrum 
Got this rustic hunter finished up if it didnt stink from the finish I would take it out tonight but I really like the handle I cant grip it wrong it just naturally drops in place this bow with the 12" riser really has nice shooting maners , now lets see if I can poke somthing with it this year

That came out really nice Ritchie It might not have a slew of fancy details, but sometimes a clean simple look is classy.

Thanks Flem I didn't like the toner exsperments so I hit it with 4 coats vinyl sealer & 6 coats Pre cat Laq. The maple really sucks in the finish nice , Hey Bob did you ever do a 62" D/R modified like your bow with out wedges ? I'm thinking of building one ? Well I think I have burnt out this thread...lol ,so I'm off to make a take down riser & finish up my Hickory/sinew bow !

[bigbob2]

No mate, only made 64", 66" and 68" in the deflex/ reflex. Very little blind hunting here, so not as much call for the shorter length bows. In saying that the 60" forward riser I made for myself, has me infatuated! I think a short riser like your 12" would be a bit small for my huge hands. Loving all the experimenting you have been going. I have been following usually without commenting much. You have built some  very good performing bows! Great stuff!

[Forwardhandle]

Thanks for the kind words back at you, I'm going to come back later and try a shortened riser D/R modified 62" , really Bob only scratched the surface on the FHLB so many ideas to go but maybe down the line !

[bigbob2]

Just built this 58'' FHLB  but with the longer 16'' riser. My chrono is not working but it smokes an arrow.Weights a smidgin over 20 oz! so light you almost forget you are carrying a bow!.

[bigbob2]

that last shot was not meant to be there!

[bigbob2]

this is the last shot!

[Crooked Stic]

That one is a looker for sure.

[bigbob2]

It performs very well too . Still can't believe how light this design is! Minimal, but conversely zero hand shock.  as you would expect with such light weight. Loving it!

[Shredd]

  Nice looking bows Guys...

[Roy from Pa]

Pretty nice, Bobby..

[Forwardhandle]

Another beautiful one Bob , you got to love the 58" its the only one Im hunting with this year , zero shock for feather weight rocket !! Now we need to try a 56" 

[Buemaker]

Looking good Bob.

[Mad Max]

really nice bob

[jess stuart]

Great looking bow.  What are the specs on her?  I am liking the riser for sure.

[bigbob2]

Bow is made from Australian wood species. Riser is PNG spalted Walnut, belly veneers are Black Bean. Bow is 58" ntn and is 52# @ 28". Only weighs 20 oz but zero hand shock and is very fast and quiet. Thanks guys for the welcome comments too. I guess if I had used a shorter riser, then it would have more working limb, but I am very happy with the outcome in any case as I wasn't motivated enough to build a new form to accommodate  a shorter riser.

[Forwardhandle]

Bob I was thinking on the shortened riser topic ,I'm going to try a shortened riser on the D/R modified here in spring but my form is topped so what I'm thinking is to make a puzzle peace insert for the top of the form & carpet tape it in place to accommodate the shortened riser ,I think it should work, it probably would work for your FHLB form , the 58" short riser changed my thinking on short limbs & long draw !

[bigbob2]

Thanks buddy. I will be interested to see the outcome but currently would not find the time to do that myself. Love your work.?
