Thats a great looking bow with some nice character! Hard to believe you only cut it a little over a month ago. I bet it gains a little weight as it seasons. Nice bend on that stick :)

My plan when I started it was to stop if it started taking set. It took very little so finished shooting her in and finished it.

If get a chance to cut another I'll definitely take it. It presents a different set of challenges. High crown, irregular crown,and lots of character.

Nice bend.  Way to push that puppy through the paces!

That's a really cool bow! Nicely done sir!  Just a bit of friendly advice though.   Keep an eye on that knot running across the belly from the pith to the side of the limb.  If it starts cracking there, its not a drying check.  It means the knot is crushing.  If it shows any sign of crushing out,  immediately stop shooting it and repair it.  Otherwise it will fold up on you.  The knot may not crush out right away, but the chances are that it will sooner or later.  Josh
