Nice looking bow. Better than my first hackberry.

Very nice bow. Is this the one you ahd shortened from 68" or so a few weeks back?

It's come along very very nicely. By the way, orange and white barred feathers is my favorite as well. Just finished fletching a set of arrows with naturally barred wild turkey feathers in white hen and orange cock feathers.

Thank you all for the support and instruction  :)

This one is my best to date and feels as fast As any of my longbows but to be fair I don't have any 54# Longbows  :)  It really hits where I look and looks to be a 20 yard pig sticker...  It would be so cool to get in on a winter hog with this bow  :)

Yes this is the one I cut down. With my 27" draw just don't see the need for that much length and 64"s is still long!!

I'm looking at your pattern for the limbs.  I want to make a pattern or "caul" as some call it.  What is the radius of the bends - or is it variable for each bow. I was picturing a pattern shape that could be used for different degrees of bend.
Also,it looks like you have cut shallow dips in the top of your jig.  Is that to let the heat circulate underneath?
