 I love the shape and style as well as the artwork. The only thing I would change is that outer limb width. It's not doing much so it could be a whole lot narrower and lighter. You can see the bows that Marc makes have  quite an abrupt narrowing in that area.

Thanks guys, I am hoping to get out in the next few days and really shot the heck out of her and see how she does with a day in the field in humid michigan weather. Betcha I will see more set before the week is out. Thats ok I like a bit of set in my personall bows.

PatM, She is just great the way she is. Not every bow needs to maxamize efficancey and trim every bit of extra wood. I dont work that way. Those tips are elegant a gracefull they dont need to be anything more or less then what they are. Thanks for the input though.

I like the bow and the bark.  Cool how you put ithe bark on inset from the edges.  I used twine to wrap mine on and went for an over the curve look.
