Thank you all!

Very nice bow (Yep, the pics are good too, I have trouble getting good bow pics). There is a lot of hazel where I live , I've been thinking to try it, would it take a 50-60lb bow ? what do you think? is it as hard as ash??,  Thanks,

Thanks!

I think 50 to 60 pounds are possible, if you build the bow long and wide enough.
Hazelnut in my region is not as hard as ash, but it takes less stringfollow and doesn't get bellycracks as easy as ash.
