Stickman, the handle is 4" with 2" fades, width is 1 1/4".  His draw length is 30"!! So I had to make sure the fades and handle could withstand the length of his draw.

Sweet circular bend on that one David! Nice job!

Nice bend!  29" draw, way to get that thing pulling back!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

The full draw picture looks beautiful. What does the bow look like unbraced?
