The last two white oak bows I tried to make were from boards and both broke.  One was a molly and it broke at floor tiller and the other was an Ash backed ELB with a flat back and belly and it broke after putting about 50 arrows threw it.

Like I always say fella's. Oak makes for fantastic base board trim and picture frames! Grab a stave and don't look back Jordonski.

Headed to the post office this morning  :(.  I am going to miss this one.  It has been fun to shoot.  It was the first time I did a true set of primitive arrows with real sinew.

If your guy don't like what you made, there is no pleasing them.  That bow and arrows is top notch.

Hey Matt, if your guy don't like it I'd be happy to trade him out of it!!!!!

And mine is now on the short string showing 50@14 and looking nice and even. I'm estimating still pulling 85 so have some wood to remove.

I'm throwing a front profile pic in here and asking for some advice. Very sliightly narrowed grip area that should bend in the handle at full draw, 1 1/2" from fades to 12" from tips tapering to
1 1/4" 6" from tips and down to 1/2" at nocks.

I'm thinking the limbs are gettin thin enough and was wondering if I should narrow the limbs a little more to remove some wieght or keep scraping off thickneess?

It looks like you could narrow a little more if you wanted to, but it's up to you.  Looks pretty good to me.
