That's a beautiful wood combination.  I got to draw this bow a few times, and it's nice and smooth.  Your buddy is going to love it.

Like Lesken said, that looks smooth.  I bet it hits hard too.

Looks great! Where did you find maple with straight enough grain for the back? Quarter sawn, or flat?

What's the thickness of the limbs (depth) to get that draw weight?

Lots of searching! It's quarter sawn.

The limbs are 0.7" thick, pretty much their entire length, as would be normal for a pyramid bow.
