Very nice bow.  I would have thinned the Birch bark even more.  When I do Birch bark over sinew I thin the bark to less than 1 /32" thick

it's a very nice bow but there is one spot just by the right fade where it is bending quite a bit. maybe it's just me. but that's just me being really picky.

Hello,
first of all I´m very happy for your friendly comments and I´m pleased that you like my bow.
@BowSlayer: I gave a third layer of a long back sinew from  the grip to the limbs to make this part safe.
But, you are right. I worked again on the midlimbs to get a more equal bending. So the bow lost
2# weight. But he is more comfortable to pull now.

Thank you all again

looks alot better but maybe some more working on the mid- outer limb. on both limbs. but that's being really reallly really picky and im sure it will be fine. but to be fair it's alot better than i can do.  ;) great bow.

Almost missed this one, glad I didn't. Very nicely done bow, I really like the looks of it.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
