it looks great... if the right limb is the top...near perfect for that design.  I have some ERC that I cut here on my farm years ago...I also have the best luck with sapwood bows...which stinks since the heartwood is the pretty part.  Yours looks like it will be a snappy shooter... congrats!   :OK
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...

Impressive don’t see too many unbacked ERC bows. I know I’m not that good. Well done.

This bow is not asymmetrical. However it does have fairly significant propeller twist and that causes things to look a little off.  It has been messing with me the whole time I have been working on it. According to my gizmo, the bend is even throughout with both tips being a little stiff.

Bob, the right limb is the top limb.

Gut, I have another clean ERC stave set aside that I plan on backing with sinew.  I wanted to see if I could keep this one together. That remains to be seen as I need to shoot it in.  It has been drawn to 27 inches over 100 times in my tillering tree though.  Fyi, I use the tillering stick for photos and to run my gizmo along it but I do all the exercising on my tillering tree.
