Another fine example of Tennese craftsmanship, really nice full draw.

Sweet bow, makes me want to get on a hedge selfbow instead of these backed bows I've been working on.

Whats the front profile?  She a pyramid or parallel to midlimb?  And how wide?

You all been geting wet down there Pappy?  We've been lucky, our precip has been sleet so far.  20 miles south it was freezing rain, there's 40,000 people with no electricity.  Should be plenty of free bow/fire wood.

 Thanks for all the good comments about my bow. I am real proud of how it turned out. Thanks to Pappy and Greg B for making me take my time on it. It is also good to have these guys around for advise also. Here are a few more measurements of my bow. The handle is a 6 -1/2" section 1" wide about 1- 1/2" at it's thickest point. The limbs are 1- 3/4" wide to about 2/3's of the way down and taper to 1/2 " at the tip. They are about 3/8" thick. The bow was heated and bent four times. Twice just after floor tiller and twice after tiller. The last time just for the tip curve.
