Chris, with a D-bow design, you should be able to get a normal 26"-28" draw out of it if it's a good piece of wood. You need to post up that mulberry, too-it's a good looking bow.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

That long dark spot is a swelled area almost like a knot. I hope it dont give me any grief. Its around 1 7/8" wide at the handle area now, how wide should it be?

Here is the spot I was talking about. What do yall think? Those pencile marks are roughly where the handle is.
