Martin, dude, that is just awesome! I'm impressed with your bow building skills. Nice bow, and congrats on getting done. How do you know what weight it is going to be and how much time did you pit into it?

Getting a blank everything is already glied together. I had the tips overlayed and floor tillered in a few hours and put it on the tree. I just had to trap the limbs and sand a little on the belly.
The next day was spent shaping the handle, getting a string and shooting it. Probably 5 more hours. Maybe 8-10 in this one. When selecting a blank I floor checked limbs til I found one that felt right. It came in at 45# and at my draw 41#.

Poor Dave got an Osage blank and spent 2.5 days sanding that thing but it is beautiful. He followed different lines on it and it came out great and shoots great as well. We never put it back on the tree for #s but under 50# for sure.
