Radius, you really need to get some glasses  ::) I don't see a hinge in the full draw picture.

radius, look carefully on the progression from unbraced, braced than full draw,.....those caracter staves, espetially up and down caracter might look like they hinge in certain critical spots,but you gotta go back and compare all the stages :)

I see what Radius means, midway between the black binding on the upper limb, maybe not a hinge, but I wouldn't take any timber off there!

Mighty nice bow for a first bow, I would really be proud to show that one, keep up the good work , The only problem I saw was it is left handed and I'm right handed, Denny
