Got the profile shaped, floor tillered, and rawhide backed. I might slim down the profile a hair as I tiller it, but she's coming along nicely. I'm kind of treating it with kid gloves, so it's slow going. Lol

Looking good. What length between the nocks are you at now?

Looks like you nailed removal of twist, but hard to tell from pics. How did it turn out? How much cursing?

I'll update some more pics later on. Still has just a tiny bit of waviness, but almost dead flat overall. She's 64" tip to tip and a little over 62" nock to nock. Temporary nocks right now. I'm not sure if I'm going to do sturgeon then tip overlays or use the method I do with snake skin. Still contemplating.

And most of the cursing was due to be fumbling around with C clamps. Nothing new there. Lol

Nice job dealing w/ that twist. You're certainly a more patient man than I.
