hi mikekeswick,

this one is up and running now for two years. This is also covered with birchbark, having about 58 lb by 27'.

Beautiful bow! I like the profile, a bit different from others. Seems like its lot less stressed since the kasan bend is not so aggressive. Does is hold reflex better?

Ok, I have to say, that kasan bend is like this by my mistake. It was more"aggressive", but as I had to remove the first coat of birchbark, I had to use heat
to do it and by doing this, kasan bend lost some of its angle. But anyhow, it is shooting well.
