Love it!  I could look at the bows you make all day... but not in a creepy sort of way 
Seriously though, very beautiful and I think we have similar tastes in bows!

WOW!
Your are the master of the short bows!
I like the super  tiller and the straight profile, also the paint job. I have seen the explanation you have given to dwardo, but what means the letter w/?
I make my paints with pigments and hide or fish glue.
This is really a very nice bow!

Simson, Sorry for the short hand writing......[w/] is a short way of writing "with". as example

"I mix my ground pigment with fish egg binder"  but write it "I mix my ground pigments w/fish egg binder"    By the way the fish eggs are nearly the same as fish glue that's made from swim bladders.

Here is the dimensions: (these are actual, after being all tillered out and not what the bows started out to be).
Width: [for the middle 12"] 1.28" / mid-limb 1.15" / tips @ knock shoulder .75" The bow is parallel sided for the center 12-14 inch, then a straight taper to the tips. The tips are layed out at 3/4" wide at the time of rough-in. They are a little bigger when you drop down 1" to cut the string knock.
Thickness: Middle 12" .558" / midlimb .423" and .428" / tips  .377". The stave is medium high crowned and the belly is very low crowned, the egdes are well rounded.

If I missed something please let me know.
