Thank you guys.

For anyone wanting to build a bow like this. It is best not to try and glue in more than 3" of reflex into a bow like this. More than this and you start to get lateral stability issues.

Go for it David.

This bow had one small problem with it. If you look at the top limb you will see on the belly a line that runs to the left of the string. This is from an early wood ring separation that started from the fades nearly to the end of the limb. Generally this won't cause a problem, besides being a pain to apply the finish, but for insurance I ran some crazy glue into the crack.

Darn it man, something is wrong today and all I see is empty boxes with little red x's in the upper left corner instead of the photos.
