This bow came from the bark side of the bow I posted a few days ago. Made this last year also, first one of this style bow for me. Black locust with deflex and recurves bent in with dry heat after floor tiller. Not sure if its bending in the right places at full draw , has small chrysals throughout the working sections of both limbs, pretty evenly distributed though. Has probably 700 to 1500 arrows sent through her in the last year and has remained the same without further chrysals showing up so I don't flinch anymore when I pull her back. Smooth to shoot, cast is fair. 57" ntn finish is my special dye on wood, boy that looks bad, try to remove, dye again, looks worse, try to remove again, won't come off, try another combo of mixed dyes, admit I messed it up and finally decide hey I like it, kind of looks old and weathered. Covered up with spar varnish, built up handle with leather and wrapped in dyed deerskin. Has some prop twist left in. 50# @ 26". Thanks for looking. Greg
