My first heavy Hickory bow from a board. I sawed the back to follow a growth ring which gave a hint of natural reflex. I was aiming for 120# @ 31" but it ended up at 100# as I cut it a tad too fine on second rough out.
Lower limb (left) is a tad stiff, but I'll let my test pilot shoot a couple of dozen through it before I do any final tweaking.
It's 75 1/2" ntn, heavily heat treated, it's a little flat bellied for an ELB, but whatevs
It'll be interesting to see how it performs as it has taken very little set.
