Appreciate all the love she's gettin :)  One of these days maybe I'll make a bow i love this much that i can keep!

Chris:  I hope she IS a killer!  Yes, she got a good deep tempering whilst i reflexed and straightened her out some.  She lost about 2 inches of reflex in tiller if i remember correctly, but the tempering really did it's job.

George:  Yup that's cambium.  I was hoping more of it would stay on there, but lost some in finishing.  I've got another that is gonna have a lot more, and i think i'll use a darker stain on her.

4est:  Thanks and I agree.  Don't have to worry about buying a stringer with leather cups, easy to replace, and i can include a fancy >:D  custom length nylon rope stringer with all my bows.  If they lose it in the field they can always pull of  their shoe strings ;)

Thanks again guys for all the kind words.  As Bartles and James used to say "I support your appreciation" ;)

That looks to be about as good as they get :) How long is the bow and how wide at the fades?

Thanks Rob, Gabe.  Thanks Josh, don't get a cavity on that now ;)

Thank you sharpend :)

Cameroo:  she's 60"ntn, bout 61.5" ttt.  8 inch handle, about 1 7/8" at the fades, very slight width taper to about 8" from tips, then narrows to just under 1/2" at nocks.  kept her wide due to the short limbs.  Thanks again :)
