  I think it's too short for a hickory bow for weight much more than what you got. Shooting for a heavier weight and then hinging the other limb probally weakend the lower limb. Your wife ought to like it, build the boys there own. :)

I like it - nice work. Haven't tried a recurve yet, hope I can do one like that soon.

Any chance of a larger full draw?

Here's another full draw pic.  I have to be careful not to draw it too far since I'm 6'1" tall.

Good looking bow- tiller looks good, nice work. Looking at the profile, I bet it still flings an arrow pretty zippy for the weight.

 I have to agree with everybody else. In that picture the tiller looks real good. She'll like it. ;)

Wow! Great work on this one. Pretty impressive to see such a short bow cranked back like that. Bookmarked, too, for Nov Self BOM.

Thanks guys.  This is definetly the shortest bow that I've made that I've drawn this far.  It's kinda fun testing the limits when you don't have any money invested.  Yeah cowboy, I'm kinda slow sometimes, but I think I have the picture thing figured out. ::)
