been a while since i finished a bow. and i know eddie i gettin sick of my stone age bows
so i did something different (for me). elm 17/8" wide and fades tapering to 1/2nocks blah blah blah. 50#@26". had to put a mulberry lam. on the bend of the curves cause they started to pull out. 66"nock to nock. had a tough time visualizing the bends with a stiif handle seeing as most of mine bend. would of liked to of gotten a little more bend near the fades but the bow shoots like a dream so i let it be. top limb also had a bit more deflex near tip so it looks odd but its not

Party On dude
You know Justin is going to complain about the full draw picture, its supposed to be against a contrasting background
centered and leveled
Other than that it looks good jamie, man sure wish elm was more common here.
