Is it just me or is it bending a bit too much 6 - 8 inches above the handle? Is that where the knot is?

Exactly Mike. The unbraced profile doesnt show it well. It looks like a "step up" right off the upper fade. I still think I could have let it bend just a bit more.

No spray. I have a 4" PVC tube full of Helmsman. I use it only for backed bows, skins, rawhide or sinew. I feel it penetrates and seals all edges the best. Any other bows get Tung Oil or Tru Oil usually.
