He's no longer with us.  I had the pleasure of buying my 60# Mattawoman II frim him.  A great, great man.  I regret not reconnecting with him.

However, I do not know f someone else is making bows under their name.

I picked the bow up used and misplaced the string during moving but I could not remember what I had on the string.

Someone here will be able to help.  Mine is about 7 1/4" I think.  Different bow but I'd start 6 3/4" and depending, keep twisting.

I have a 66" Traditions longbow. Both strings are 63" and it shoots great for me with a 6.25" brace height. Quiet even without string silencers. Also have a Mattawoman 2. Tom definitely made some great bows.
