Blackhawk does it again.  That sure looks nice  8).  I like how you allowed the location of knots to dictate the layout even though you were going to have to deal with that much difference in limb length (maybe not that challenging for you ;)). That is taking what the wood gives ya!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

THAT is the coolest looking "knotty" bow I've seen.  You got some serious skills.  Awesome!

That is one fine example of your craftsmanship. That's a pretty piece of wood. How's she shoot?

Anymore they all shake rattle and roll when I try to shoot them !!
Up till this last Osage tree from the storm I thought I could split anything right where I wanted it to !
Not sure what I did wrong but she threw me a curve when i was looking for a fastball !
Remind me to tell ya about it next time we are together !!
