Now that's an introduction, beautiful bow in every aspect.  :OK

You've been holding out on us, apparently.  That's quite an introduction.  A very beautiful bow!

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments again!
@Patm: only shot the bow about 100 times and no nockpoint tied yet, just winged it for the picture.
@Stalker: I love the yellow of BL as well, just wanted to try this fuming thing;-) and I agree, BL is all over the place and a lovely bow wood
@Simon: thanks for the compliment! It is quite obvious looking at my bow that I admire your work a lot! About the performance: this definately feels like the fastest bow I ever made! Mind my bows are usually around 50 pounds so that is a big difference as well. I will try to shoot it through a chrony soon. (And will post the results)
About the HLD: I tried to follow the shape of the crown and invert it on the belly and leave the side walls thin so they can open up when drawing the bow. Below some close ups with my phone in the rain. Very curious what you find because I love to get the hang of your HLD method. (I tried it on a few hazel bows and they where way faster than flat limbed ones)

That is some nice work.  Beautiful bow.  I really like to color from the fuming and the HLD intrigues me. Have to try that some time.  Welcome to the site.

     Beautiful in every way!  I like everything about it.  That's my favorite design and profile.  I've made a few Osage the same way (a bit shorter), with that same tiller and degree of recurve, and they are the fastest, hardest-hitting bows on the rack and a pleasure to shoot.  Yours looks great!

     Welcome aboard and thanx for the eye-candy!

Definitely a thing of beauty. There are some that can make a good useable bow, and some that can make the same but also a work of art. That is a work of useful art in my opinion.
