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?

Scout.

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.

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

Understand – not a judgement, just an interested comment. I imagine it would feel reminiscent of a bear. should give your hand excellent repeat {consistent} index.
