That is a killer!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Great work man! out of curiosity, are your limbs different lengths? Top looks longer?

ok, I think I see what you did. Your arrow rest is dead center, and you put the handle grip below dead center, which makes the upper limb seem longer.

That is what I did sleek. Not sure if my reasoning is flawed or not, but knowing I wanted a full 28" draw out of this bow, I figured it would spread the stress out better on the limbs this way.
