That one is sinew backed. It's about 60 inches ntn and pulls around 60-65 pounds depending on draw length. Limbs are bit less than 2 inches wide. I made the bow back in 2001. Marc actually posted a pic for me back then.
 Still working on the other two. Got busy with some other projects.

Been looking at trying to make this bow, but having problems finding any plans to work from. Find that most illustrations are vague at best. Do you have any advice on where to look.
 Thanks.
