Very nice, Burt. Make the next bow about 62 to 64 inches, it will help you increase the weight. And induce about 4 inches of reflex at glue up.

Looking good. Nice work on the tips and on getting a smooth taper on the handle fades. Hard maple is a good backer as long as it is straight grained.

It's hard to make a wooden bow which isn't beautiful, even if it's ugly.
