                  Its laminated ash limbs , maple and mahogany handle. My design . It hinges real bad at fade outs so I had to spoke shave the last belly layer of mahogany off because it was not flexable enough to match up with ash

                  . Going shopping for more ash for belly on the weekend.

                        I like the design — very Racy—–looks 90mph standing still – haha

                        What poundage are you striving for?

                          Anything over 45# , thats the minimum poundage for deer hunting where i live.

                            I would imagine – design -type of wood – amount of wood has an effect on poundage? Is this the first one of this type,thus making it unsure of where it will end up?

                              All of what you said , including limb thickness , length etc , in my opinion home made laminated bows are the hardest to make. My stick bows are easier , meaning to say they are more forgiving , a little off here a little off there, and tahda, go shoot. I’ll post a pic of my first stick bow , its crooked , bumpy , and twisted , but it shoots soft. Its great for targets and friends to try.

                                        Very Nice ! — I like it alot, Just my style of bow too–

                                        curious to see what poundage it gets. What is the length?

                                        You might want to start your own bowyer/archery business –not enuff of those around , at least Trad in the SW.

                                                very exotic ! I am trying to sort out the handle section –looks like it has kind of a palm swell from the pix.

                                                It would definely have a different “feel” to it than most bows

                                                    Maker, That’s a great lookin’ bow ! The sight window seems real short in the picture. Is that an optical illusion or just exactly how you cut it ? If correct, I’ve never shot a bow with that short of a window. Do you anchor at your eye ? I have to see my arrow when I shoot. Very nice bow ! Bullseye
