Thanx guys, its my pleasure  (-S
Good quality ash, strongly heattreated will work too Muskyman.
Nocks are transparent cow horn Aaron.
Aksel,  I just had to measure, its 1 1/2" wide at the fades. To be honest, apart of the length of 68" I dont know anything about Arvins bows, no measurments or proportions. I just saw a few pics and eyballed my own Arvin-bow. Dunno how accurate my copy is but I did and do still like it. I just call it Arvins design because he is doing it all the time 🤗 interesting point is, i had been reading in different books about the optimal length of a wooden bow being 68"...until I tried I was convinced that this was too long for a real quick stick.
Cheers

Aksel.  Arvin/selfbowman has many posts dedicated to his builds and one could gain a lot of good info just as a place to start for some specific dimensions and such.  Have a peek at his more recent build posts and you’ll get a good idea.  Lots of guys on here with good info on their builds.  Reach out to them and I’m sure they would be willing to share some info.
