Good profile at full draw, the aesthetics are very pleasing. I like the diamonds along the limbs. Shoot well!

Ken, did you glue this bow up all at one time?
  Where in GA are you? I grew up in Sav'h.

Sharp bow, Ken.  What is the thickness of the two pieces of hickory? Did you use two standard hickory backings?
