Looks like it is going to be a great shooter, hope you get to shoot it soon. What kind of wood did you use?

Very nice bow. You've done an excellent job with that one. The overlays could be slimmed down somewhat though

Good job man, that is a great looking bow.  I'm with Marc though, you could slim the tip overlays down a little.  Justin

The bow has taken aboute 1" and half set.I didnt reflex the bow at all whenn i pur the sinew on him.I taught that the sinew will reflex  the bow but this didnt happent.

That's a usuall mistake not to reflex a bow when not putting the sinew on. I did that mistake also once. A sinew bow will shoot a lot faster if pulled to have for example 3" reflex.
