Thanks for all the compliments. Its much appreciated.

I forgot to mention I put a small 1/4" band of sinew where the skins and sinew end at the tips, just a bit of "stay there" insurance. Also the only heat used was for the tips. I left the stave as is with 1" of reflex and pulled in another 2" during sinewing. It now has 1" left including the tips and has been shot close to a 1000 times. I left it raw for two weeks before skinning it and sealing it. I also swapped ends on my skins. The heads are at the tips and the tails are at the handle. Either way seems to work just fine by me.

Nice bow!  Would look real nice laying next to a big tom.

Beautiful bow Chris! Dad would be proud!
It means a lot to me that you did this pal. I can't wait till we meet up again and I get a chance to fling some arrows out of it.

I have decided to send this bow down to the Demplers this week. It will be auctioned off at a Christian School fund raiser his granddaughters attended. Im excited to help the school and Im excited to give Joe a chance to win a bow dedicated to his father. Good families deserve to have a good things happen for them in my eyes.
