M-P,

You are quite lucky and good man to get this kit!
Lucky in that I wanted it ( :D) and good in that you support master Geuk-hwan Park, I hope he gets better.

Well, if its by him, the ear most likely be mulberry or Robinia. Thanks for info!  :)

Hope it turns out awesome mate!

I hate to hear when someone has to sell off his business to pay for medical care. That must be one of the most heart wrenching things in life. I just hope he can get well and continue building bows in the future. From what I have seen they look amazing.

It looks like it works so one down! Now I would have gotten it bending a bit more a bit further out but thats just me. Holmies should bend more toward the handle. Though, now that I think about it, it looks like the handle on this holmie was removed to make it shorter and the bend through the handle should actually look like that. Nice design! Hows it shoot?

Though I think you could get some more bend further out in the limb!  ;)

Was thinking about bamboo on belly and back of bow and then tempering it. Would this work? What design would be best when doing this?

Here is my backpack bow.
It's Hickory, 1.5" wide, 38" ntn. It pulls about 50lb@18", but I can pull it to 20", where it's 60lb( :o). I painted a pattern on the back, in line with the west coast indians.

Way to go! Looks like it made the challenge. Any backing material on it? If not that is one efficient bow!
