Beautifully done. I've never worked with hackberry, but now I'm super intrigued. I heard it bends like clay.

Dang!  You got that one hooked up!

Great looking bow Jon. I am curious on how wide you left the limbs at their widest point.

Bent stick I think I roughed them in at  2" at the widest point. Prolly finished a little narrower.

Great looking bow, beautiful hooks and tiller looks spot on, it has to be a shooter. Nice work. :)

That's a nice one, Jon. Great tiller job.

I love that unstrung profile, Jon. I'll have to pull out my Hackberry I got from the Clintster, it's cured.
