Why yes, yes it will.  50#@26 54" ttt 53" ntn.  2" set. Gonna tjrow it back on the caul and reheat the belly some to get some shape back, then temper to get set out and add string tension. Retiller and caller done.

Meet fury's little cousin,  slightly ticked.  And if it is faster than fury, I will change its name to furious, or maybe faster and furiouser...

The more I look at this the more I think it looks like a horn bow. I may toast the belly till its almost black, then sinew the back with 4-5  layers of sinew... I bet that would shoot pretty quick with enough reflex.

That's a fine looking bow...and the most unique tillering tree I've seen.

Thanks guys. I just really wish it was wider. If I had 1.5" wide I bet it would have a lot less set. As it is, I doubt it will be a record breaker, probably just gonna be a good shooting bow with average cast.

Wow, Kevan! That's some mighty fine work on that little stick!! If not sinew then I'd add a strip of rawhide for protection.

Thanks everyone.  I appreciate it. 

Im thinking I went to high on draw weight and or didnt deflex tje limbs enough to handle the weight its got. If I had it to do again, id deflex the fades enough to bring tje tips down 1 1/2" below the back and step it down to a 45#. I may drop weight to 45 anyway after tempering the belly. Gonno crono it first tjen see if tjere is a diffence after weight drop and belly temper.
