Well, My third attempt finally resulted in a shooter that I'm pretty happy with. Thanks to some folks tiller advice on an earlier post, this one came out 64"N2N 53#@28". Bamboo backed osage with a strip of bacote in the handle. African blackwood for the tip overlays.
Here it is unbraced:

Took it hunting for the first time today. Shot some pine cones, scared a bunch more. Took some pic of her in her natural environment! Sure is a good feeling to carry afield a weapon of your own making.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to shoot a longbow!!!
