Here's a full draw picture (or fairly close to full draw). As you might notice the bottom limb could be stronger. I could take off a bit more from the top limb and have a better tiller and a slightly weaker bow. Probably will leave it and just try to do better next time.

The flash photo and perspective makes the bottom limb look thicker than it really is.

Hi,

Very nice looking bow...Kingwood????  Looks like a nice wood for a flute!  Where did you come across it?

I think you're on the right track... leave it as is, and think about what you want to make better on the next one. All in all, a very decent bow, good work!

Get mine from Rockler woodworking supplies. They sell wood for turning projects. Not cheap. $12 for a 1.5x1.5x12 inch piece.
