after I cut it out it gained a half inch more of reflex for a total of 2.5" right now...good ole tension wood

...it still needs to lose the remaining several percentage points yet,so it might pucker up a tad more..who knows? and here it is ready for the hot box

I laid it out for 1 1/8" width at the fades,and as always cleaning up to just outside the lines left me with 1 1/4" ...ill narrow it more for when I tiller and tweak my mass weight on it...right now it weighs a whopping 37 ounces

..BUT ...a lot of that will fall off after a combination of moisture loss,tillering,narrowing the working limbs more,and reducing the width n thikness at the levers,and further reduction of that huge bulking handle...lol...I think half that weight feels like its in that handle...its two inches deep right now
