Final stats, 51.5" n2n, 60lbs @ 27" (which is where I plan to shoot it).  It feels creepy to feel so much bend at 28".  It picked up over 10lbs with heat treatment.  It has about 2" of set in the top limb, the bottom limb is still about where it started with 2" of deflex.  For a little bow, it shoots with authority.

Looks great George! Nice job.  8)
Boy that sure is a snakey son of a gun looking at the pic down the belly on page 2, that just goes to show that a bow doesn't have to be board straight to shoot well. All it needs in the string fairly close to center or favoring the side of the bow with the arrow on it.

Thanks guys, I haven't quite mastered the tiller on the bendy handled bows yet.  I sure like the way this one shoots though.  If my primitive arrows shoot well with it I might take it out to the lease this next weekend.  Still need to put a couple more coats of finish on it.
