ya know what, I typed a whole bunch of stuff in the original post and just noticed none of it showed up ::), well it's 65"ttt and 54#@ 28", I heated a mild reflex in and then flipped the tips, I was going to leave the bark on like on a lot of OS but it didn't want to go along with that idea, so I scraped it off that was a bear, but I left a little on the tips, think it look's kinda cool and seems to be doing fine there, the stave is a whopping 1" dia. at the grip, it don't take much ocean spray to make a hunting weight bow for sure, got a crack in the riser both ends so I wrapped it with some back sinew, stained with dark walnut and hemp wrap on the handle, this was a gnarly, knotty, twisted kinky stave but I kinda like it, bub
