That's my little girl, Briley Rose holding the bow.  She's a darlin I must admit.   :)

Great looking braced profile, that daughter is pretty cute to!

I would say a tad stiff midway on the bottom limb bb.

I hear ya Fells...

There do seem to be a bunch of Mollys this year...  :)
Have to admit I was thinking of a profile along the lines of one of Ed Scott's bows.
Guess that would be a Molly/Holmegaard style bow streamlined with some seriously Graceful lines.
Similar to the look of ryoon's trade bow in front profile.

But then I started scraping on this sweet piece of Osage.
So instead of shooting for any particular style of bow, I'm gonna let the wood dictate the terms of my surrender... :)

On the home stretch. First try at a sunburst finish.

my stave is all roughed out it's 58" hickory I plan to do some statics with a non bending handle and a rawhide back, but for now it needs to season a little longer, im excited its a very nice stave, but my new bandsaw wasn't kind to it so im already having to play doctor a little bit to get the profile right, but it wouldn't be as much fun if it was easy

Jon:  I was hoping to see more of the IW bow!  Thanks!  She's a beauty.

Ryan:  You've got guts trying a cool finish like that for the first time.  I would be afraid of making a huge mistake and have to start over.  Good on ya!  It's purdy!

Now that's my kinda bow Ryan...tip overlays are a must because you can get those last 6" a whole lot skinnier.....looks like one of my bows...hmmmm? I'm positive its a smooth pulling,sweet releasing arrow screamer. Prob no need for string silencers...
