This is a 66" flatbow made of a quarter of a 6-7 inch diameter Oregon ash log.

There were a lot of pin knots but it's holding up pretty well.

First experience with a heat gun, and I had to 'save' the bottom limb by re-heating and recurving to compensate for a weak spot so as not to lose poundage.

It is 1 3/4 at the fades tapering to just under 3/4 at the tips, fairly uniform 3/8 thick.

Giving it to my cousin for his birthday. Tiller is close enough, he's getting real antsy

I could probably have worked the tips down more but it doesn't have too much handshock. This is a sweet wood, I plan to try a paddle bow from it soon.
