Today I finished, mostly, the bow that I've been working on.  It's a single piece of red oak backed with drywall tape, which is none too attractive, but is quite effective (although the yellow grid pattern does grow on you).  It bends through the handle and draws 45# at 32".  It's a little lighter than I would have liked, but it works and that's all I can ask for at this early stage.  I'll see about getting a picture up once I put some finish on it.

On a side topic, if you're drawing to the corner of the jaw, what do you use as an anchor point?  There's nothing quite as prominent as the corner of the mouth in that area.
