I bet it does whip an arrow at that draw weight, plenty of pounds!

I agree, you should either beef up to 16 strands of B-Stretchy, or switch to a dyneema. At your draw weight your leaning hard on 12 strands of B50.

Great looking bow period mnb.12 strands of fast flight plus for string would work on your bow great too.Another 10 to 12 days and you've have another bow too yet....lol.
I was wondering about those basswood arrow shafts.Spine/thickness/length etc.If you kept track of it.I've never used basswood before for shafts but do have a few basswood tree limbs here I could split.I like that natural turkey fletching too.

Thanks for the compliments gents! It's always great to hear words of praise from all the bowlers I admire!

Beadman - I posted a "help identify" post about a year ago and the group though it was basswood.  So did my ole man and he's real good with plant IDs. It was winter and harder to ID. They grow in clusters, real straight and tall, along rivers and swampy ditches. There can be hundreds of clusters in one spot.  Give me a couple days and I'll head down to a patch close to the house and get you a proper write up on the process, along with arrow specs.

I'm usually not a fan of board bows, but you pulled this one off very nicely.
Great tiller, cheers

Kamil - it's the prop twist on the lower limb playing tricks on the camera. It's actually the stiffer limb. I've since heat treated the bottom limb to stiffen it up even more and take out some of the prop twist. The tiller looks much better to the camera now but I don't want to keep the thread alive too long by posting more pics.

Sweet bow. I love the design and those specs!
