Looks great. I like everything about it. From the stained back to the burnt belly. From the tips to the handle. From unbraced to full draw.

Nicely done.

Beautiful bow!  I love the stain job on the back. Good luck with it this fall. I’ve made a number of fire-hardened hickory bows that held their profile and were great shooting bows. Great job!

Pappy:
Beautiful bow, love the color and bend looks dead on, a little to much window cut up the limb for my liking but should hold up well if it don't bend down into that area. :)

I know Pappy...im terrible at tuning arrows.  Thats why I cut em so deep.  Its actually radiused to center so theres only a small portion that the arrow is actually in contact with.  The portion the arrow is in contact with isnt quite at center.

Pappy:
The depth doesn't bother me, it's the window up the limb, it's where you cut up the limb and violated the longitude grain, if it bends there at the fad it will likely pop at some point, I always make sure it doesn't bend down into the fads where the window is cut in. A lighter weight bow it will probably be fine , just bothers me a bit when they are cut up that far. Not criticizing your work just tell you what can happen, ask me how I know. ;) :) :)
