With those looks and specs, I bet that would be a joy to shoot.

Very nice bow.  That stuff doesn't grow down here, or not that I'm aware of, but I've seen a number of bows from it lately.  The reflex is surprising.  Great job as per your usual.

Unbelievable profile on that bow!

I live in Buckthorn mecca but don't have any staves, you've more than convinced me on this wood. I've gotta get out in the woods.

I'd be very curious to see a chronograph result on this bow. Barring that numbers on how far it shoots "x" weight arrow at 45 degrees would be interesting. The highly reflexed bows I've made have been exceptionally fast for their draw weight, but I've never reflexes one even vaguely close to that far. The unstrung profile looks reverse braced....
Great work :)
