Very heavy!

For quite a few years I made enough wood to heat the house for the year. After three or four days on it The back was about done.

I stuck it in a big standing dead ponderosa once. My eye said it was going to Lean the other way but gravity disagreed. Luckily it was way in and I had a single bit axe and an eight pound mall.

I finished a 71 hour work week. :(
There are a couple of unfinished bows and a side quiver waiting for some attention. Maybe later...

Working on another trilam. Osage, red elm, and boo. 68" tip to tip.

5 3/8th" brace height here. You can see there is still a slight bit of reflex out past mid limb.

Here it is with a 6.5" brace height and tillered to 22 inches thus far. You can see the limbs are pretty much straight now. That is normal for this design.

Here it is after tillered to 22 inches. Still has a nice reflex at the tips.

Nice Roy. I like that profile at brace. Should make a nice shooter.
Did you offset the handle on this one?

Roy, in that first pic, by the tip on left, I see a problem.
