Beautiful looking bow Pearly. Great detail work.

Nice looking bow, Chris. I see you have concentrated the bend on a fairy short section - have you measured speed? That thing looks fast.

I tillered it to bend until I hit the reflexed portion, which started a bit farther down the limbs than I wanted it to. With the bow being quite long I knew I could get away with it, so I left it. As far as speed, I have no way to test it. It feels as fast as any 50# bow I've made. It is very smooth on release. My bow hand doesn't feel much at all.

Nice lookin' bow, Drums!  I like the handle work.  Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Thanks for all the comments fellers, I appreciate it. I worked as hard on this bow as any I have in a very long time. It was started months ago and slowly crept to the finish line.

Always enjoy seeing your bow-makin' artistry, sir. Perfect!
That handle will certainly get 2nd, and 3rd, looks.
Congrats!
