Here's a black locust asymmetrical bow that I just finished up for a BJJ training partner. He liked the looks of the wide bows, so this one is 2 1/8" wide from fade to midlimb then tapering to 3/8" tips. The lower limb is 25" from fade to knock and the upper limb is 26". It's got a bit of a thump, but nothing serious. Gets a 450gr arrow at 157-160fps and at least for me, puts an arrow right where I want it out to 20 yards or so. I was going to go for a hollow limb with this one, but I ended up getting a little aggressive with the scraper and realized it was going to get VERY thin in the middle of I continued. I ended up with a mild hinge from this. But got it pretty well corrected and making the weight. So it turned out well. The finish is early American stain with a coating of melted in beeswax. It started with walnut overlays, but my tiller string was a bit thick for the nocks and broke them. So I thinned them down and glued on some Osage. Makes for a nice looking tip.
Thanks for looking,
Kyle
