Wow, nice work. I wouldn't have tried that much draw length. I just love shorties. Super bow.

Nice shorty, there.  Great stats and what a nice unbraced profile.  Hey, did you chase one sapwood ring, just pop off the bark or get somewhere close?  Great draw on a 49 incher.

JonW,

I've read back through this thread looking...
If you already answered this question I apologize.

Can you post the "Limb" specs before you made the first cut?
Diameter and length?

Thank You.

Thanks for all the kind word fellas. The limb was @3 " when I started. I just scraped the bark off with a butter knife so it was the first sapwood ring. The limb was 54" when I got it but had a knot I didn't want to deal with so I cut it down to 49". Since it was a limb the sapwood was not very thick and I didn't think it would be an issue to use the sapwood I have used this bow for hunting this year and have shot it at cornstalk shoots and it hasn't taken any more set than what you see in the pics.
