Thanks guys.

That's a typo Dave, I fixed it.  The poles were under 2" in diameter.

I just wrote the article Nate so it will be a bit longer than that.

You'll have to wait for the article Erik for the answer to that question.

Not the first bow I've backed with snakeskins Tim, I just don't do it that often.  I can weigh it but it will have to wait a couple days.

The bow has a nice feel to it and it shoots so well that I may use it for hunting this Fall

The design looks similar to the black locust you made for me Marc, looks like it shoots as well as that one too! Beautiful bow.

Marc, I figured it would come in a bit lighter than that? Kinda surprising.
