Here is my new bow.
It is red oak board. it pulls in the upper 50s @ 28". it screams an arrow. i mean it really fast.
it is 2" wide at midlimb and the last 15" taper to 3/8" at the nocks. it is 66" ntn
it is backed with linen and painted black. i stained it dark walnut. it is finished with deft.
i love this bow.
sorry iam a terrible picture taker the pictures dont do it justice

You're right, the pictures do not do it justice. That is a wonderful bow!

Looks like a great bow David. I hope you will excuse me being a little critical. The top limb appears to be bending just a little more right at midlimb. It appears that the top limb has taken a little more set than the bottom. I think it is because of the extra bend at midlimb. I'm not trying to knock your bow because it is really good, but when a few guys started pointing out little things on my bows it really helped me improve. Justin

your absolutely right the top limb took more set than the bottom and it is bending more at midlim.
Critizm is welcome it will only help
the tiller isnt perfect but i am happy with it it flings an arrow fast and straight. i would love to take it hunting

The tiller is real close to perfect. I would say that the bottom limb is perfect. You should use it as a reference on your next bow. Justin

Nice Bow, David. And to think only a few months ago you were wondering if you could!
Well, you have!
