Still working on this wonky piece of wood.  the plugs seem to have held so far.  not quite at brace yet but closing in on it.  lots of character and dips and valleys.  I added a little deflec at the handle area and flipped tips.

I floor tillered my trade bow and built up the handle using Osage and black locust laminations glued up with EA40 Smooth On epoxy. The bow needed some straightening so I coated the bow with vegetable oil and used dry heat to straighten and add reflex. So far so good…
