She's hickory, 60" long. I'll get the other dimensions tomorrow.
Russell(deerhunter21) has a notebook I put together years ago. I think the article/story Jay wrote about the medicine bow and his brother's death with bow dimensions is in the notebook.
This bow is odd in that it's draw weight can change from 45#@26" to almost 65#@26" depending on the R/H of the area. It stays in tiller and still shoots well no matter the weight. Medicine, I guess.  8)

Brad, I guess it does but I haven't investigated it with the halibut skin over it.
 The Medicine Bow I made measures 60"t/t, 1 1/4" at the fades, 1 5/8", 8" out from the handle and a straight taper to 3/4" tips.
