Ken, nice bow.  I running out of words to describe what u can do with a piece of hickory.  Keep making and posting pics of your bows!  What is the ideal moisture content for hickory?

Wow Ken, that is so impressive.  Short, no set, beautiful backing.  Great job, hope someday I can do that.

thanks Matt
thanks Rich, think i still like the black better
thanks Bettleb
thanks Wv,helps to understand whatever wood species you deal with.ideal moisture for hickory would be 6 to 8 percent but i doubt ive ever gotten that low or will. mine prob never get below 10, if you want low set hickory you need to trap and tiller slow !
thanks Keenan , i built a 55inch white oak ,hickory and ipe first and then decided to do a molle after chattin with rich bout lunch time.ill put the little bow on tomorrow its simple but  impressive .
thanks George
thanks Jawge
thanks Tim, lookin for something different and i was happy with the camo effect. sept the red string gotta get some more brown
