Nice job!  That is a "Done Good"!  I would think 200+ fps is excellent for almost any self bow!  Got to learn how use use my chronograph!

That's a real beauty!  I love the shape, the colors, and the idea of lilac wood.  Thanks for sharing!

Looks like a lot of hard work went into that build. Lots of nice detail work! I don't much like to comment until I see a F/D pic but I totally get not having a qualified photographer around:) Looks great.

Thank You all for good words :)!
aaron, I'm not sure what You asking :). The back is covered with goat skin.

Here is the FD picture. It's not me, its my son and his draw is 29''. He was in a hurry and unfortunately I couldn't make crony:

If You look at second picture You can see natural bend forward by the handle, on the left side. That's why the upper limb seems to bend more.

I agree. That 200 fps barrier is a big deal. It sure has stumped me. And on top of everything it's gorgeous. ;D ;D

In fairness it's not a selfbow but it gives a lot of insight into what wood can do in place of horn in  a  similar design.
