Saved the pictures to remind what, in my eye, near perfection in this design looks like.
Lovely lines.
CONGRATS!

I've never been a Molly/holmgaard fan...but your looks great.  I guess some day I need to learn how to make a bow that only bends in part of the limb and doesn't take any set...  :BB  Would you give the limb profile dimensions?

Have to say you nailed it. I was wondering about limb dimensions also.

Very nice!   You have to have some skill to pull that unbraced profile off with such a small working area.  And nice shooting gloves  :D

Sweet bow! I love those curvy shapes with narrow levers. Smooth and fast!

What a bow, what a killer-tiller - Congrats bushboy!

I was never sure if I like the molle-design, but with these recurves...I think now I know what to try soon with this elm-stave I was promised by a friend... :BB

Thanks guys.the bow is 61" ttt,4" handle,fade are 1-1/2" and 2" wide,tapering down to 1"@ 14" from the fade and the beginning of the upper fade transition.the levers are 12" long to the tips,about 9/16" thick and 1/4" wide at the tips.i normally shy away from making the levers this long but there was a knot that I had to deal with.truelly a very stressed design but good elm is amazing stuff!thxs bush!

  That's really good stuff.  Good high weight for a shorty and beautiful strung profile and tiller.

That’s awesome! Beautiful profile! Amazing, that you could pull off a design that has more stiff than working parts with almost zero set!
Congrats!
 :OK
Btw - would you tell me the brace height of that bow?
