Thats okay. I know you said holmegaard so thats what I figured for a front view profile but I couldn't tell from the pics. Again, awesome work. I really want to get to you level when it comes to making high speed straight stave bows. I know you like to stick to flight shooting but how much testing do you do with 10ggp arrows?

I havent been testing any with 10 grains per pound yet. I need to make myself a shootingmachine and set the chronograph up in my shop, and make a set of different weight arrows first. One board holmegaard I have is faster than a tomohawk GF bow, at least.

Kviljo,
That is some pretty serious skill in tillering that crazy piece of wood! My hat's off to you to be able to tiller something with that big of a whoop-te-do in the limb. Excellent bow!

That is very impressive, What a beauty. It must have been a chore to tiller that one but, it looks like you nailed it. Job well done.

I like it a lot! It´s probably like you said, that the outer limbs should bend a bit, at least that´s the way I use to do it. What finish did you use?

It's got Herdins dark brown stain, plus a few layers of danish oil. I scraped it lightly before oiling, to get the "old" effect.
Don't think I measured it, but it is probably around 67" long.
