Good job karrow,

I to just finished my 1st red oak board bow, I still have one more rip of salvaged oak. Hope to up my weight some. What was your limb thickness?,you think its your 2"limbs compared to my 1 3/4 limbs? and you are a bit shorter then I am. I'm only two lbs under you but i'm at a 30" draw.
Again super job I do like the purple hart handle
Take care, Crg

i am approx a 1/2inch thick at the fades all they way to mid limb and the tips measuer approx 3/8. so you can go from there. im not sure how heavy of a bow you can expect out of a board. good luck and keep us informed
