66" NtN, 90mm fades, 1 1/4" at fades to mid limb, 3/8" at tips. Sambar rest and tips. Currently 62lb @ 28", will shoot it in, in the next week, and add a grip!
Beautiful Yew to work with!!!!! thanks Carson :)

Nice bow, Mick. That should be a good lam bow combo. I see you pegged your riser. Does this bow bend in the handle or is it just for insurance.

Pegged or not, I think if it bends in the handle, it'll pop off. Doesn't look like it's bending in the handle to me. Nice bow! Clean lines, and nice tiller with the reflexed limbs. Not a big fan of bamboo, but I bet that's a good combo, making a fast bow. Well done!

Didn't notice it the first time, but I like the way you used the antler crown as your arrow pass. Nice touch!

Just for insurance Pat, the bow has a static riser. I was having problems with my risers popping off in the fades, so I now make laminated risers and peg em. No more problems so far!

Bow looks very cool.   Just my 2 cents worth,  but looks a bit stiff in the outer 3rd.   Had a few handles pop becasue they were bending mostly in the fade right out of the gate.

Remember the limbs are reflexed. I think his tiller is fine.

True enough, the reflex is subtle just quickly looking at it did not notice.   ???
