Nice job. It's impressive that you got that from a scrap. Looks like a lot of fun to shoot.

Haha, indeed that wood seems to be male, now does that mean all the ones with the holes are girl bows?   ???

Cool bow. I'm with Chris, another few inches and you got a legitimate hunting weight bow. A few scrapes on the outer limbs and you are there.

Thanks everyone!
I re-weighed it today and I must have been really tired last night it is actually 38# @24", not 32#. The sinew will probably cure a little bit more as it ages so who knows it might pick up a pound or two.  I would love to pull it to 26" to get into the hunting weight range, but I feel the bow is telling me if I push it any more ill have two or three high velocity toothpicks flying around the room.
The bow is perfect draw and weight for my girlfriend anyways, and she was thrilled when I told her it was her.;)
