excellent bow... it's great to see yet another option for people looking for local woods to build a bow.  Thanks.
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...

Very clean and simple Doc, nice rig.

I need to make a bow from that stuff too.Well done.I imagine it will shoot into the upper 160's/170's for sure with a 10 grain arrow.Some spruce shaft type wood could work.

In my "primitive" way of thinking, we can get the kinetic energy from given figures and get 166-167 fps for 10 gpp arrows, using the same formula. No math involved on my part.

Good lookin' project, doc.
May be in need of low weight elegantly styled bow. Will have to consider this to copy!

Good looking bow! Love the colors of the heat treat on the belly. Your calligraphic work just tops it. THe numbers are great!
Thanks for sharing.
