My only criticism is that you didn't immediately mail it to me.  :)  Fine looking bow.

Great job.That profile is what Comstock refers to as the overbuilt bow.One of the fastest hickorys I ever made was this design.I shot that bow for many years with next to no set(a good design).I LIKE MY hickory and yes I'm a tightwad.

My only concern with sawmill lumber is that it isn't stored properly before or after the sawing...at least in our area. With white woods, it doesn't take long for fungi to impregnate the wood.      Pat

Hey Lost,

Great job in all respects.  I really like the subtle little refex on the outer limbs.  Great color and style also.  Super.

off the mark:

I just found the business card.
It's Kepley-Frank Hardwood Company.
975 Conrad Mill Rd
Lexington
336-746-5419
I talked to Bart Jenkins in the office.

I sent him a photo of the bow so he can see I did actually make something out of it.
Of course, the next time I'll probably have to pay $6! :)

Thanks to all for the comments.
