Very nice fading of colors and overall look on your bow.That's hard to do correctly.

Thankyou.  It was a fun build.  Sorry for the delay.  I just saw this. 

The measurements of the limbs as best as I can give. 

Tip thickness.  Prior to glue up was approx .300”

After glue up of horn and final tillering by scraping horn belly.  Approx .400”

Width at widest point at base of limb is 1.7” which tapers slightly out to 3/4 way up the limb to about 1.6”. Then to the base of the syahs is 1/2” wide. 

Thickness at base of the limbs near handle including the horn lam approx  .520”.

Hope this helps out.   Any other questions just ask or send me a pm.
