that bottom limb gave me fits because above that knot there was really NO wood I could remove, it had some prop twist I had to take out but I left everything else au natural, I wanted to do a t/d for ease on my part there just wasn't much wood to do a splice, I got the sleeves from Carson @ echo archery thank's carson, the reason for the silk wraps is that above that knot there was an area that I had to make a small rawhide patch and I wanted to cover it up, and there were large voids in the fades on the same limb, on the fades I mixed some yellow sawdust in some epoxy then sanded it down after it set, plus the wraps look good, it's a shooting sob that has a knack for hitting the ten ring, the length helps there, and has just a little bump on release. Thank's Chris for challenging me and the other Chris for making me get a little selfish, Bub
