OK. Here are some pics of the new stick I have been shooting.
54" ntn - 3" wide. Light as a feather compared to my 68" I have been shooting.
I need to work on my staining capabilities, but @ 47# It'll git'r done. It is much smoother drawing than my other bow as well. Some of you will know why, I don't.
Tell me what you think.
Here are the links to the pics.

And I forgot. Thank You all.
Humbly,
Looks lovely :thumbsup:
G-dub... Again thats one sweet bow... I'm more than a little jealous... but i do have one quick question for you and the bow Guru's around here
GWHunter: does the bow stack much when you get it to full draw...
To the experts: would it stack less either way if the tips were flipped a little bit?
I like that arrow shelf. :thumbsup:
Not a lot of stack. I don't notice it. It is very easy to shoot and it hits where you aim. I built it to shoot out of a blind or treestand. I am worried about the lifespan of this bow because it is just over a 1/4" thick. It is just fun to have made out of a board. Thanks for all the kindness.
The top limb is 1" longer than the bottom.
nice bow! are the limbs more or less the same thickness (back to belly) from fade to tip with the pyramid design responsible for most of the tillering? interesting!

crosseye,
You've got it right. Width of the bow is what allows for proper tillering. The thickness is same from tip to fade. It is a very simple design, but it is tried and true.
