Hey Bubby,
       Very nice stick. Hard maple makes for a snappy shooter......one question though....is it real hard to make them bows "wrong" handed? >:D  That full draw is real pretty no matter how it gets drawn....

Howdy Buddy,

Wow, very nice, simple bow, and I love those walnut trimmings.


So is that a straight taper from fades to tip?
 
What is the limb width at the fades?

And, what is the handle thickness?  (I'm trying to get an idea of minimum size on a handle.)

Thanks for sharing,
Canoe

Very sweet bow. Great tiller and excellent detail work with the tips and skins.  I'm glad to see some nice dressed in string groves, with proper angles.
