That bow has my vote.  Incredible job Yankeemongiat!  Recently I read in the Journal of Cherokee Studies, that Sycamore (khu iyuhsti) was a common wood used for bows.  I definitely want to give it a try after seeing your success. :)

Thanks for the heads up about the Full Draw on p. 3. Got your neat bow all bookmarked for Feb Self Bow of the Month!!

I don't know about Neat....but It turned out pretty nice....my first go around with Sycamore on a wide limbed Bow...and the first time to use Python...which I hope to get more of....really tough stuff for sure.....Thanks OldBow....I am proud to be picked.

Dingleberry......I really enjoyed working with Sycamore...it is a really nice wood to work....I am on the Hunt for more now myself...glad you like it...and good luck on your next Bow..
