Looks good. Well done! Jawge

Pappy:
Simple stick, I like it, the only problem I think you will have leaving the bark on , is it will dry out and crack and come off at a later date, it may or may not damage the back when it dose, ask me how i know  ;) :) :)

BetterTrees:
I was in love with the idea, but now it seems iffy.

I am working a tiny plum static recurve with the bark on and at close to full draw one of the levers suddenly blew its bark and folded. I dropped the line and immediately unstrung it.
We'll see how it holds up. Just have to make a proper string and that one is ready to shoot in.
I know I was running too thin if the bark was the difference between static and working recurves.

George Tsoukalas:
I'm with Pappy about the bark. I missed that you left the bark on. I had the bark on an American hornbeam sapling crack and the bow broke.
