Hey, I build my hickory bow in two weeks.

What was the design layout of the selfbow? I was thinking I want to do a pyamid shaped limb 2" wide right after teh handle and tapering to 3/4" or 5/16. Somewhere between 50# and 60#. I have a choice of picking a osage stave, but more I think about it, hickory might work better.
You ought to post some picts of the selfbow sometime. Sounds like a good time. You ought to come up to the Balt. Trad sometime.
