That is a nice looking bow Carson, I really like it. 

It looks a lot like a bow I helped Paul (EhkAhk from the old board) to make about 10 years ago

Thanks guys.

Looks pretty similar Marc!

Adam, I like my bows a little heavier too. I really liked this bow when before I had to bring the weight down...The funny thing Cody, is that it looked every bit as dainty when it pulled 60#!  Here is a picture of it before the weight-loss. And a video of it bending before I reluctantly brought the weight down.

This is a video, if you click on it:

Not that anybody asked  ;D, but I found that waxing the handle and the inside of the leather thong wrap is a good way to get that leather to stay put without having to get out the superglue.

Nice work Carson that came out good. I have copied that bow from the Hamm and Alley book many times. My favorite design to build.
