I gotta try some hard maple this winter!
Do it, do it!
Looks like you had good instruction.
Ya, they were all right I guess...   

  Just kidding, they were awesome.  Great guys too!  And thanks a lot Adam, you've unleashed the monster. 

  I find myself thinking about bows when I fall asleep, first thing when I wake up, and every where in between.  Probably dream about them too...  I keep thinking about who I know that I think needs a bow, and the list is growing.  I think all my money that I was saving to go on vacation this winter is gonna be gone before winter comes  

  Wonder what the girlfriend is going to think about that?
Scott, the bow is about 1 and a half inches at the widest part, and then starts to taper a little past mid-limb.  Here's a couple unbraced pictures.  It ended up taking just under an inch of set, and after shooting for half an hour, takes about an inch and five eighths of string follow. I love the maple, and I can't see any reason why my next few bows won't be maple.  And living in Saskatchewan, Canada, it's kinda patriotic too!
Take care guys!
