Gotta agree with everyone else, nothing wrong with that bow :)

Very nice looking bow...I couldn't tell. Is this osage or hickory or?
Bookmarked, too, for August Self BOM.

What Pat and Josh said...static curves is less limb bending so it stresses the rest of the limbs more...I guess it's a trade-off. I think the bow looks great! I'd be very pleased with your outcome, nice work! ;)
