That looks great Bub.  I am getting ready to try a similar bow of hickory.  I only hope it turns out half as nice as that beauty.

Wow!  That is one outstanding bow.  I'm sure he will be thrilled with it.  What kind of rattler are those skins?  I like the pattern.

Thanks everyone, yeah the bbark wraps around three sides of the levers, and it is a hybrid pyramid/molly, I can get the layout for ya tues, Clint those are western diamondbacks from out at my sons place, I think the only thing different about me is the long pants, it is finally starting to turn cool out here

Blackhawk I've built maybe five mollys and they all drive an arrow but this modified design is flat out fast, Greg I got the bbark idea from you, but I like your bow with it better, I did slightly recurve the tips and it was more apparent before I put on the bark

Very nice bow, bubby. I've not made a Mollie yet but I can see one in my future.

Nice bow.
One thing you could do with it is not to have such as a big thickness transistion out to the levers. You only need a fraction of increase in thickness because you haven't made a step in the width reduction. If you think about it you only need a section of a working limb to be 1/16th or a 1/32nd thicker to see a stiff spot.
I've played around with these sort of bows quite a bit and it always surprises me just how little extra thickness you need to keep the levers 'static'.
