How light? Like, 200 grains?

What ya going to wrap it with.?

How is this bow overbuit, and where are the stiff spots here and there that you see?

As soon as the grandson leaves I'll get to stripping weight.
PatM- as long as it doesn't explode the door to sinew is still open. If it shows some promise I could go there. Or make a few design changes with sinew in mind. I could strip the maple off and heat treat the Yew. Just as long as it stays in one piece. Or start a similar one. I've got a few more years in me ;D

Id just make another.... after this one has been tinkered with to the point of success or destruction. Either way.

I wrapped it with some upholstery thread I had. It's very strong.
