thanks much guys

Ross-  yeah its a matter of working limb, especially with this one b\c it is so short. I started making them with much more gradual fades but over time i have thinned them more and more. in fact i really dont like to see bows that have long rigid handle areas.  i prefer to see a steep transition between limb and grip as opposed to a longer, flat no working portion in the bow.    i really like it if i can accomplish making the bow appear to bend through the handle even if it does not.   just a case of different strokes for different folks  ;D
        this is the best i can do for a picture of what i dont like without finding someone elses bow and saying "i dont like this"  cuz thats not nice or supportive..lol   but this is the 2nd bow i ever made and you can see the grip extends out further and doesnt work.  also adds weigh.  thats like those big risered recurves they have out nowadays..lol  cant stand em.

Stunning bow. That osage takes some beating and just shrugs it off. Gotta try some one day.

Ryan
  Beautiful bow for sure. Problem with me though is I can't pull 68 lbs. anymore. Thanks for sharing. Dean

I am impressed with the over all finish you achieved with this piece of wood, stunned by the symmetry and balance, and completely taken with it's simple elegance. That bow is a testament to your commitment to excellence!

I'm sure you can do better... But not much!   ;) :)

thanks a lot everyone, it pleases me that so many have such nice things to say about it.  I've gotten a lot of inspiration off PA that has probably pushed me to be to "particular" about my bows
