thats a nice bow bubby, and all the others on this thread are too. a quick update from me, the mollie i was building crysalled near the fades so that one wont be getting sent. so i have started on a 54" piece of english yew. i am going for a slight bend in the handle.its about a 1.5" at the handle and tapers to 1/2" tips this stave had some  pretty bad twist at one end so i have removed some of it with the heat gun. i have also had to get the limbs in line as you can see in the pics. i only did  that tonight so i wont know if its worked until a day or 2 when i take the clamps off. i am hoping this will be the one. heres a few pics.

Cool bub.... ;)

N I might consider a full compass bend in the handle Danny and you'll be able to get near 27" of draw with it (if your good)and that would be asking the most from that stave...if you leave the handle stiff or even slightly stiff you won't get near as far of a draw from it,and more like 23" n maybe 24" if your good...just letting ya know and making sure your aware ;)

I got my trade bow today!!! Or should I say bows. Thank you okie64 they are perfect for me.  Both of these bows shoot great, they are quiet and fast. I know these pictures are not that great, but I am so grateful to have received two fantastic bows.
