Heck I'd have no hesitation drawing that bow to 30" nice work😉
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

Haha! You guys are too much! Thanks for the compliments gents. I have definitely been bitten by the bug. I am well into bow #2 right now and already have plans for the next bow.  :P  My next bow may be a couple weeks, depending on my work schedule and prepping my house for the winter. The next one is hard rock maple and blood wood... >:D

  Great job.  I think you could have gotten more weight out of that bow, but you made some very smart design choices there, and executed well.   It's beautiful.   Tillering and coming in at weight are their own skills.   ;D
