Shoots like a dream, no twist, no hand shock, slightly on the slow side though. Best shooting bow I have built to date..!
The riser is old/growth douglas fir 42 rings per inch with a piece of Yew added. Tips are yew. Bi-lam Maple limbs are 26 1/2" long by 1 7/16 wide. 64ttt & 62ntn 45# @ 26"... Second shot on target was a BULLS eye at 10 yards, but hey best shot so far to date.  I thought my arrows were out of sync.

Nice - could you explain how you attached the limbs to the riser and what hardware you used?

[Christian Soldier]

Looks good man.

As bubbles asked, what kind of hardware did you use? I.E. what bolts and what kind of internal threading inside the riser?

Still have more work on the limbs yet.  I used what I had #10 stainless screws with the nuts counter sunk in the riser.

Interesting bow. I'm thinking it's not really a T/D. With the limbs screwed to the riser, every time you take them off, the holes will get more and more sloppy. Kind of a 'permanent' T/D. 

I've also looked at yew many times and thought it would make a beautiful tip overlay, but I always use something else cuz it's so soft.

Some stuff is soft agreed.  Everything is an experiment adb.  Hard to do any kind of real work when my work space is limited, no table saw, no band saw, no drill press.......ya it's a pain to get perfect machine cuts without.
A perfect riser would be drilled with a perfect jig and a drill press, a proper thread tap also helps. Limbs and riser have to be perfectly matched and aligned for proper fit.  Having said that I really cannot use exotic hard woods like some guys.

I hope the pic below explains it. I have to re-work the limbs and glue on a proper wedge and overlay...Try to cut one anyway..........
