Awesome execution, Chris.  Fun to see you make a shorter bow again.  Also, a perfectly timed post for alwayslookin, I saw some pictures of the stave he is referring to and that should help him.

Hope it brings you luck.

Nice lookin' bow, Chris.  I especially like your handle and the working recurves. 
Hope all is well, tell all that we said Hello.

Steller job all the way around. I really like the bows I make and then I see another one of yours and I almost dont want to post my next one. You really got it down buddy. Hope I can make it to the classic this year and see it up close.

Alwayslookin....that slit hole isn't a check...its how the tree adapted to and grew from a scar.

Kewl pappy!!! That suckas dark...gotta be a few years old there ;)

Thanks folks :)
the part in the handle section is a check right? Looks really similar to the one I have in my handle section.

Alwayslookin ...yes those are checks...I wouldn't sweat it if its in your handle and doesn't run thru from belly to back and off an edge. Even when in the limbs they usually won't cause an issue as long as they don't run off an edge of a limb.

Nice bow Chris,  really like the thin tips, looks like you got them a thin as possible with the recure and it looks like there working just a bit. 
I bet it pulls real smooooooooth.. :D
