Most have already been said but ...thats Bloody brilliant  :o
And from a piece of wood many would have tossed in the fire.

Many thanks for this positive response!
It was really a hard struggle and sometimes wanted to through her in an edge.
But now looking at that wood - I like it, too.

And I promise, the next bow will be a conservative design and dead straight and an ease to tiller!!!

Thank you again, you all are too kind.

Very impressive Sir!  I was wondering how long have you been employing this design?  More to the point, how is the longevity of a hollow limb design compare to oh....say a flatbow design.  I can see some definite advantages to the design, but I would be concerned about the bow splitting itself as the limb flattened out at full draw.  Have you noticed any tendencies or signs of that happening ?  Would it be your opinion that a highly interlocked grain wood is necessary for this design?  I'm very seriously considering giving this a try, so please forgive all the dumb questions.  Lol!  It looks like a very in depth project that I would prefer to learn as much as possible BEFORE attempting.  Which is an entirely new approach for me.  Lol!  Beautifully done sir!  Josh
