32 hours is what I figure. 6 hours to get used to the tools and remove back and some sap wood. Another10 to get to the growth ring I wanted and clean up around knots. About 10 hours to design, rasp profile, and rasp handle and little floor tiller. 8 hours to cut nocks, make my own string, floor tiller, and final tiller. The bow went from 70lbs to 55 in short time. One guy there was doing hickory and I was so jealous. No ring chasing, no knot cleanup. I am doing hickory next.
