Another nice bow, Akila. How long/wide is it? Looks like it would be a very smooth shooter.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

That's a sweet piece, brother. I assumed you stained it? Why is the handle and tip areas so dark?

wow that is nice! i like the stain job too...good on ya! im really starting to like longer bows. i made a fiew 65" and under, but the last one i did was 70.5" ntn and it is so smooth, and dead on accurate. and its really not that much more to handle in the woods either.
good job man!

I love that stain job. Nice bow as usual. :) How is ash to work compared to hickory? I have an ash stave with about 3 inches of natural deflex. I was planning to flip the tips and was hoping for something under 60 inches that I could shoot out of a tree stand. Any words of advice you could give would be geat. Your bows are all awsome works of art as well as tools.
