Nice work Del. Looks like you have a longer dip on the upper limb cf lower limb? Are the working limbs the same length or is the top limb still a bit longer?

Good spot :)
I went with equal length working limbs and the arrow pass a tad higher than usual about 1.5" rather than the usual 1"
The leather is possibly a hint longer than necessary, but I've been caught out once making it too short so I make 'em long.
Visually that's one thing I don't like about Victrorian style ELBs.

I find the difference in the dip length to be useful(longer upper limb dip), with stiff handled bows(esp wider flatbows). It allows you to use even limbs but use a spot the balances well in the hand and closer to where you provide the most pressure with a Mediterranean draw. With wide bows a longer top dip will give you more scope for  a better sight window.

The only leather good enough to wrap Del's bows, naturally!

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
