Well it's done!! It looks done anyway! It needs a couple more coats of finish. It shoots very nice! I've shot about 50 arrows through it. The limbs seem to actually be evening out a little bit more.  I'll shoot some more tomorrow and see how it does.





Thanks for the help and the great comments!!!

Welcome to PA. I like that tip design - quite unique, yet simple and elegant.

Welcome to the site! Lots of good folks on here! All the free information you'll ever need!! Your son's bow brings back memories of my dad making bows for me.Thanks for sharing.
