Nicely done Chris!  I noticed that you have the section with the hole working.  I see quite a few bows that have been left stiff through a section like that.  I'm glad to see that you ain't scared of a little character!  Which is a good thing, cause it looks like your baby girl might be quite the character herself!  Josh

Thats a dandy, I kept scrolling between the unbraced, braced, and full draw pic and it looks like you gave each inch of limb its due. I really like how you didnt try to make both limbs match and just treat each one as an individual.

Wait till she starts talking.  You are not gonna believe the things little opinionated girls say!

Oh, and nice bow  ;) 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
