Very nice - I am impressed with the weight and draw length you could get out of that 51" piece of BL.

Thanks guys  :D

Chuck, I'm thinking I like the mollegabet I made during the build along is too good not to share. it's as tall as I am, fifty pounds, zero set, my favorite style knock, beautiful grain...

Mwosborn, I started the build thinking I was going to make a forty pound bow with very little set, but I have friends with their own plans and demands ::) Probably couldn't have pulled it off if the stave wasn't top-notch wood!

Thanks Joec, Pearl, George, and DuBois  :D

I'm really enjoying getting the second hundred arrows through her, and she hasn't taken any more visible set. She's almost ready to leave me, but I know I don't want to let her go :'(

Very nicely done.  I like the double nocks on the tips very much.
