Thanks again for all the kind responses guys, appreciated. Shot this one quite a bit in the backyard this weekend and like I said before its not the fastest horse in the stable but maybe the most stable horse I got. ;) This was gonna be my trade bow but came in under weight at about 40# @ 27". I piked it twice and then flipped the tips to get it where it is now, started at 63" ntn. With the knotty back I didn't trust it enough to pull to 27-29". At my short 25-26" draw it should last a long, long time and who knows
come fall it may get to go hunting with me. :)

Beautiful bow Greg! Fine tillered and very nice wood. Didn't know that mulberry sap is useable - interesting contrast here.
Also like your paint job.
