Lee like others have noticed it seems you have turned a corner ,man, your bows are starting to rock!
I know it was a lot of work but do believe you have made it. Great accomplishment.

Thank you very much Lane...I agree, took a while, longer than I wanted and expected but now when I look at the the pile of wood in the "corner of shame" in the shop it doesn't feel quite so bad  ;D

Whole lot of timber abuse going on there. Great looking bow and not one bit of it is exempt from doing its fair share of bending...

Lee nothing wrong with your skill level ive seen some fine bows by you here lately. and that bow has the one thing i like to see in a full draw and not the three things i dont like to see. your making them limbs WORK !!! . and there are no toes , cracks or nether regions showing in the full draw

Thanks again guys!  I figured I HAD to get the limbs working (what they are for, right?  >:D) plus this bow was pretty narrow...1" at the fades tapering to 3/8" at the tips.
