Thanks, I appreciate your efforts to get it!
Thanks again.   It's amazing how we use common things for patterns and dimensions.

Thanks, I really like the sinew and Yew combo.  The bow is extremely light in the hand.

      Wow! Those tips are impressive! What method did you
      use to bend them, dry heat, steam, or boiling? Whatever
      method you used, it must have been a nerve-wracking
      endeavor. I've cracked my share of tips underheating or
      bending too aggressively. Good work!

I used dry heat and glued underlay.  I bend and glue on this form.
