That's awesome, really brings out the variety in the honey locust too.

Yeah I wish he'd give me one of his throw aways. He does have the touch & maybe a little touched  ;)I got a little carried away narrowing down the limbs. They're just over 1 1/16" at the butt which looks like the weight will be 50+.

Here's the riser shaped and ready for filler. It will be stained in a brn, grn, & blk camo pattern. The riser is cut 1/4" past center and is set up for a flipper rest and a cushion plunger. I will build a shelf that can be stuck on the flat shelf if I want to shoot off the shelf. I still need to finish the tips, lighten the bottom limb, and time the limbs. It shoots good split finger but I want it set up for 2 under.
     
Unbraced 66" N2N
     
Braced at 7 1/4"
     
Drawn to 29" but not leveled

Very slick!  Love that slim riser, almost looks dainty. .250 past center should be able to shoot a wide spine range.

Since it is a hunting bow I decided to go with camo paint. I'll do a FD curve and shoot it through the chrono tomorrow when the paint is cured.

Here's the 29" FD curve Good energy storage tomorrow the chrono will tell how efficiently it puts that energy into the arrow.

OK here's the fd/speed results right at my draw length. Using a release & measured at 53.25# at 29" Stored energy 50.32ftlbs and SE/PDF of 94.5% arrow speed 203 fps for 48.677ftlbs kinetic energy and 96.735% efficiency. Way better than I'd hoped.
Measured finger shot: 53.25# at 29" Stored energy 50.32ftlbs and SE/PDF of 94.5% arrow speed 196fps for 46.309ftlbs kinetic energy and 92.028% efficiency.

I needed to make a new sting, raised the brace height 1/4", and added 4 string puffs this dropped the speed 8 to 10 fps but the bow is deadly quiet.

Smokin' allright. Is the limb curve a true circle shape?

Looks great Galen! I like the looks of the enclosed limbs on a TD longbow especially.

Good performer too.

Bue it has a tighter diameter curve in the first half and a greater diameter on the outer half. The outer portion is a bit of an ellipse.

Awesome!!!
It's great when you try something new and it works as you had hoped.
Love the bends in the braced and full draw pics. What are the specs on the limbs? Tapers? Wedges?
