Well I thought it was doable but would take patience and time.That might require it sitting it in the corner a while......LOL.

The reverse psychology reference is that some thought the stave was too advanced for my experience level, which made me think "i will show you"! , so i busted my hump to build it..and actually made it happen , im nothing if not persistent!! Lol all in fun!

That knot hole in the tip is unique.Besides it making a good bow for ya.What kind of elm was it?I'm finishing a winged elm here but not with near the character you got on yours.It's making me a fine shooter.

Ok so as promised here are the final dimensions :
n to n 51 3/8"
Knot nock 1 5/8" wide
Limb tapers to 1 1/4" before knot
2" midlimb
Handle is roughly 4" - 6" with tapers non wrking handle
To reduce handshock kept 1 1/4" width and 5/16" thickness
Had to get drastic to reduce knot nock weight though.
