Hazel pyramid bow. Around 45-50lbs at 26". 59" nock to nock. Natural leather handle, tips and arrow plate are black oak + purple heart. Great shooter!

looks like a challenging piece of wood you have been working with.
Maybe more bend in the inners imo - but it looks balanced!

Thank you guys. Every kind word or advice from such experienced bowyers is very precious for me. And yes it wasn't easy one, but tough staves are very common in my workshop and I really like unique character they offer.

Nicely done!  I too would get the inners bending some, especially the top limb.  This looks so much like my first bow it's almost a twin.  Tiller and all.  It's still going strong after a few decades.
