Chris, with a D-bow design, you should be able to get a normal 26"-28" draw out of it if it's a good piece of wood. You need to post up that mulberry, too-it's a good looking bow.

That long dark spot is a swelled area almost like a knot. I hope it dont give me any grief. Its around 1 7/8" wide at the handle area now, how wide should it be?
