When it comes to building a bow, I LOVE the classic old school static profile build. When it comes to shooting/hunting a bow gimme a 65" straight osage bow all day and twice on Sundays :)

I agree with ya Chris on the 65" straight limb osage.....But I'd have a hard time not shooting that old school static ..... You know I'm a sucker for a nice look'n static, I think you helped me through my first one and I've made a few since....... ;)
Very nice looking so far....That's a beautiful yew static...

Change your calendar.

Clint gripes about my dirty shop and you gripe about my calendar, I get no slack I tell ya'! :)

Thanks Pat. The boa skins will make me feel a lot better about 28". I'm sure it will handle it, but if it decides it doesn't want to carry the load at least I know the skins will make it less violent and hopefully both my eyes still work afterwards. Id hate to tiller a bow with one eye.

Joe I just grabbed a 2 x 6 x 24 and used a quart paint can to make the radius. No science or tape measure behind it all. The metal strap is just a chunk of galvanized duct metal screwed in.
