Nice going there Jawge!    

I was getting a bit worried that you wasn't going to have any build alongs this year.  :(  

Glad to see your still at it! Thanks for the pics.

How would you say that lemon wood stacks up to the other woods that most of us use?

[Dano]

She shoots well, George. Actually, the same as any other bow with 1.5 inches of set. She became a bow pretty fast actually. I'd stack it right there with any of the white woods I have used. I ledt it natural 'casue the wood is purty.

Thanks, Mac. This one was more like flying without instruments. When I looekd at it for the first time Ithough I would make a longbow. I decided  that it didn't seem to have the elb style wood. Dunno why. Then I thought i would make a pyramid style handle bow. Nope. Figured wouldn't be enough wood at 1.5 in. wide so I went wit the safe design. She's a good one tho.
Thanks.
