Looks like a good 'un from here. Nice job with the stain as well on the boo.
I've had the same problems with it as Springbuck. I've also had it fail as core wood in a tri lam elb, it just started cracking all the way along it's length when I got to full draw with it  :o

Thanks Paul, yeah i had to make one for my brother that he is giving to somebody plus if i make them all lefty it kinda limits who i can give them to and most guys want a rest
Mike this was some stuff my hardwoods supplier gave me and after due diligence searching it seened that most bows that failed with this wood were under 66", anyhow she's holding up well

Looks very good. Did you use the African Padauk ( Pterocarpus Soyauxii) or the real thing from Thailand/Burma which is 30-40 % stronger in all categories (Pterocarpus Macrocarpus)

 Nice choice of design for that wood. Tiller looks right on. Paduak is really fast wood.
