I've got lots of touchscreen issues with the phones but photobucket isn't a problem.

Nice profile there. Your caul looks cleaner than mine though. :laugh:

Like that shapely bow Paul.

Ok no promises ****** but here is what I am working  a 50" shorty.

Here is the width at the handle I have cleaded up the sides a bit and it is now 1.25" wide here.



It stays that wide until about 13" from the tip then tapers to about .75" at the tips.
one limb.



and the other


I have been using the TTB V; also known as Pat B to help me out.  I also have a brown paper back on for temporarily just to give the back a little bit more protections through the tillering. I may back it with sinew later but let us get it pulling to about 25" first.

Now to wait on the glue. I may go and try and belly split a think stave now.

Maybe it is a shadow, but the right limb looks like it needs a few more scrapes, mid limb...


otherwise she looks good.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.
