Finally got to this one done. It ended up 52# at 28". Got 3 coats of tung oil on it and shot it in. Tryin to decide if I'm even going to put a handle wrap on it, I think I'll just leave it as is. The dental floss adds character I think HAHA. Shoots great, very snappy. Thanks for all the advice everyone and thanks for looking.

Looks nice. I had to wrap a small crack in one of my bows. I also added another wrap on the other limb to make it look like it was planned that way.   :)

Step lightly, and shoot a trad bow.

Pretty impressive for a hickory bow especially that narrow!

Decided to wrap the floss with some hemp cordage and put a matching one on the other end and at the handle. Coated the whole think with a couple of coats of mink oil.
