70 inches total and 68 nock to nock. It's easy to keep the d profile as long as you don't get too carried away by removing to much wood or else you will end u p with a flatbow. When roughing out the bow i just eyeballed the thickness and then i laid out my design on the bow. 1 1/4 at the handle going up for 4 inches on either side and then tapered to 1/2 an inch. 60 lbs at 28" and 65lbs at 30"

Beautiful bow I am sure, but where did the pictures go. Sure would like to look.    Kenneth

I'll get more pics up later when I have finished staining it and putting horn nocks on

...
I'm into warbows so this one pulls 60 lbs at 28"(im only 13 so that's my warbow weight )

Sure is; you sure must be at least as big as I was age 13!
But for some reason I cannot see the pictures of your bow!? 

[youngbowyer]

sorry about the pictures ill fix it

im having problems bracing this bow past 4 inches because its quite tall and i dont want to break the horn nocks. I use the step over method. nocks are too small for a stringer, any advice?

Loop stringer   no hoods to put pressure on the nocks.  Nice work ! Bend looks good.     I was shooting a yardsale Ben Pearson 40 lb. fiberglass bow when I was your age. (40 years ago)  I just started making my own bows a couple of years back.  You keep at it and you will be a master by age twenty.  Thanks for sharing your work  '  Frank

this bow can pierce a metal garbage can with a hand forged hector cole type 10 bodkin!
