62" NTN 1 1/2" at the fades and about 1/2" at the tips. Took 1 1/2" of set. 2 maple lams and a cherry tapered lam in the center that is 48" long. 6 1/2" brace height. Weight maybe 35# Handle is yew, cherry, and maple. This is the shortest bow I have built and very light. It shoots ok as per target, no its not 20 yards but not bad for 15 yards.. :)

Couple more pics.....

Nice one! I like the strip of yew on the back of the handle.
-
Nice bow looks better than my groups :-\

Thanks guys. As the target gets annihilated I will fill the holes with spray foam. It only cost me for the blank box like $3.
-
Nice clean lines. The handle looks great and the tips are awesome. You sure like laminate bows eh? I wouldn't have touched cherry as (self) bow wood, but I hear it performs ok in laminations.

Looks like most of your bend is mid limb. You could get more bend near the fades.

Thanks.
I would not use cherry as a bow either. Some guys have though, tons of choke Cheery around our parts.

Good eye Pat.... :)
I was aware of that but I did not want to take it under weight to much. I try not to fuss to much with the fades but next time I'll work them more to get a more even bend. It has over 80 sots through it time will tell if she holds together.
