Thank you to everyone so very much! You all are the best!
@sidewinder: as far as how much it increases in weight over time is definitely on my mind as the bow will be leaving me soon. Fortunately I was given a draw weight request that had a decent range. I'm pretty sure, whatever increase there may be will stay under the maximum requested amount. Of course, as I mentioned, this is my first outing with sinew so only time will tell.
May name the bow "Good Karma" because (confession) this is my trade bow...although it would be really ironic if I named it that and the recipient voted for a different bow
Hopefully they will be pleased regardless.
