Way nice Ken, like the single side arrow pass too. Looks like a deer killin tool to me. You sorta got them straight tapers down pat, along with the Molle's, statics, etc.

One good thing about BOM is it shows all the bows and helps me see the ones I missed.

Great Bow Ken.  I like the profile.  Did you glue in reflex, That pipe straight sure is pretty!  I can't do that starting with straight wood though ;)

thanks nate, on the original bow i did but it came out light so i backed it with more hickory and just glued it up straight. this one has quickly become my favorite based solely on ease of use

 ;D  I did the same thing with an HBO I screwed up, pulled too much osage off the belly and glued on another piece of hickory.  I never finished tillering it out though, had some other problems.  Once I get wood poor I'll probably pull it out of the corner and see what I can do with it.

Nice work and nice save.

Eh, you don't live in a desert, have you seen the pics of my backyard ;D

I've got enough wood for 5 more bows.  If I nail those out before snakes start crossing roads again I'll be wood poor ;D
