Great story and a circle complete.
Still think your nuts for trying a bow from that but it tuned out great. Got to be the first bow I have seen with a burl in it.

Awesome!

thanks guys, I appreciate it.  surprisingly the burl doesn't shock too bad during the shot. I think if it was any further down the limb it likely would tho.

My eyes keep going back and forth comparing the limb thickness between both limbs - - quite the difference - amazing work.

thanks Russ, I think what you are seeing is some of the twist still in the bow. the limbs are pretty even in thickness I think. I think you are seeing some of the belly of the top limb in the full draw picture. it def has some twist still in it
