This is bow 11. It was built for a gentleman that owns the local hardware store. It's 68 NTN. 1 1/2 wide at its widest. Tips are 1/2. 47 lb at 29 inches. Pignut Hickory. Finish is Tru-oil. Handle wrap of buckskin. Still got to build his arrows and he'll set.

Nice tiller & a bit of string follow, bet it's a nice shooter.

Very nice bow, Briarjumper! What is the thickness of the limbs?

Around 1/2 inch just out from the fades. Don't know what it tapers down to...I would have to measure. Tips are 1/2 wide and 1/2 thick for last 6 inches.

He's getting me a Dewalt DW735X 13" thickness planer for my shop.

Thanks again for the kind words folks. I worked hard on making this one look good. I am going to put a nocking point on it today and make sure it's shooting good. Then I got to do up his arrows.
