Thanks for the kind words. I'm going crazy waiting for the bark to start peeling off again. I cann't believe I forgot to tell the wood. It is pignut hickory Blackhawk. I love the way the wood looks after you peel the bark off the hickory.
Thanks again guys

I had thought about taking the tips of and renock her to get a few more pounds. Please tell me what you think.

I have "fixed to death" more bows than I wanna admit.  Sometimes, and especially in the case when it is your First Bow, it's better to take it as it is and make another with an eye to different dimensions if you just gotta have something heavier.
