Good looking bow, bet its a snappy shooter.  Is there any sinew on the back?

Thats my tillering string. lol But I am not sure on the specs yet. But its 50" long and I can safely say 60lb at 25" or 26". And no this is not a backed bow, the Cal. bows don't need to be backed.

No offense,and I hope you prove me wrong,but I am highly skeptical of those specs on a 50" long stiff handled levered tipped unbacked bow by a novice. If so how much string follow do you have?

Lets see it drawn. I always say its not a bow until its bowed.

it appears that your drawing it about 20-22", nice work, but the stiff handle area isn't common on west coast bows, Bub
