Thanks giys. 

I'll post a pic of the lower nock later on.  I used a pretty nice looking wood for overlays.  Sort of a yellowish brown with black stripes.  Don't know what kind of wood it is as I picked up a couple boxes of small pieces of mixed tropical hardwoods at a hardwood dealer.  They had some very interesting wood species.

I'm not crazy about making them this short for that draw length but that is what Mike wanted.

Glad yours is still alive Joe.  I still can't figure out why Mike's broke.  I was having problems with the finish drying on his and we were starting to get pretty cold weather up here.  Oh well

Thanks Dana.  Are you behaving yourself?  :)

Wow, that bows is stellar. Having shot one of your bows, I have no doubt its well balanced and shoots fast. He's a lucky guy that the other one broke cuz that one is sure to put a smile on his face.  Danny
