A wood I favor. 

A design I adore.

And photo in front of a standing stone. 

You are exhibiting everything I like, with the exception of a pretty red haired girl!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Thanks all :)
Great looking bow!  I'm gonna have to build one out of hackberry.  I've got about 10 staves that are a year plus into drying.  Do you toast your belly?  Great bow.  I'll bet it's a real shooter.
Hi! No, I don't teat belly. I try to get it as dry as possible before working on it, but I donnot toast it :)

   I am another hackberry fan. I like the design you chose, it came out very nice. I always look forward to working a hackberry stave, I think on my future bows I will follow your lead and go a bit narrower with more working limb, that came out great.
