Hello...make your handle area, a little longer....calculate your handle, and your fades, to be arrounde 14" long...put some extra thinn strips under that handle u already have...u want themm to be 1/8 thick...and make the fade transition, verry smooth....u need aboute 4 moore strips under that handle, and make your fade much longer, thann u usuly do on a self bow...and whenn u tiller the bow, be carrefull, not to let it bend to much in the fades...:)...

Cheers  :)
