I really like the strung profile. Nice job.

Another sweet bow Jeff!  I always wondered about this style.  Considering the extra width where it's bending the most, did you notice less set than normal?

Thank you Steve and Mr. Sniper sir.  :D

Ben, a bit less, yes. I think gluing in some reflex with the hard backing helps as well.

Sorry I'm late getting here Jeff. Very smooth looking profiles. Sure glad your making use of that ash. We are starting to see a lot of ash saplings again. I'm hoping the bore are gone by the time they get big enough that the bark gets rough.
Beautiful bow as always.

Thanks bushy!

Thank you Jawge  :)

Great to hear from ya Parnell. Glad the FD looks good to you

Thanks M2A. Love seeing your work as well  (-S

Thanks Hawk, I was thinking Meare Heath when I layed her out.

Thank you Del, and thank you by the way for posting that see-through horn nock. I'm working on an ELB and if I finally succeed with this buffalo horn, it'll be because of that pic.

BJ! No problem, I figured you've probably been working a lot. Yeah, I'm seeing those saplings as well. Maybe they'll evolve some resistance to the borer. Fingers crossed. Great to hear from you my friend.  (=)

Cool looking bow, I bet it really drills an arrow.
