Hickory. Bow is hickory/ipe/hickory.

Did some measuring again, I may need to move the grip upward as long as its not a 'spliced' bow:
New length 72" NTN
Grip= 5" of total length
Top limb from edge of grip to nock groove= 36"
Bottom limb from edge of grip to nock groove= 31"
Edit: I'm an idiot! I should have measured and moved the grip in the first place!? I mean here I am drawing the bow pushing way below center. No wonder I'm having issues, nock hi jinks aside, LOL

I also did some calculations...WTH was I doing pulling the 'new' bow @72" NTN to 33"!! I think my useable draw has fallen to 31" max. Combine me pulling the cut down bow to 33" and also like a bonehead leaving the grip in the original location when the top limb is 5" off, no wonder Im having fret/chrysal issues. I took the original chincy vinyl grip wrap off, found the original center mark, remeasured and found the new true center mark was at least 3/4" higher meaning I could move my grip up a full inch.

Ok hmmmmmm it's a hickory ipe hickory bow I will tell you right now ipe would've made a much better wood for the belly you wouldn't have any chrysals hickory may be super strong under tension but it's not nearly as good in compression if I was to make that bow I would've used the ipe for the belly but
