Looks great Rich. I'm sure some might cringe, but if it works for the kind of bows that a person like to build, and the end product is pleasing to you, who cares?  Often it is breaking out of the norm, that teaches us the most

Another nice bow Rich. And edge-grain to boot. Very neat.  God Bless

[Josh B]

I don't know how you get so much out of so little!  Impressive as always Rich!   Josh

[Parnell]

Most tribes from the great plains belt from the Kiowa Apaches through the Northern Cheyenne built, basically, those bows, I think they'd agree with you Rich.

You got all there was to get out of that little piece of wood - amazing.  Tillering skill like i wish i had!

[rossfactor]

seems like your always on the "edge" Rich.

That's really neat.

Half Eye,
You should be ashamed of yourself!  Using imagination and creativity is not permitted.   Not to mention having a little nerve to try something different.
I think the full draw picture looks pretty nice.  She shoots quick, eh?
I have been building backed bows with the same grain orientation for both backing and core.  I like.

Love the curves, and wouldn't have guessed the shape at brace and draw. Great, just great!
