I got some more work done on it. I don't usually work the handle until after the bow is a shooter, but, considering how difficult this handle was to lay out around the checks, dead wood, and grain, i figured I'd do it first. I also got the limbs thinned down to the point they floor bend now. I think they are too wide, and am trying to figure out how to narrow them. One limb ks no problem to narrow down, the other is riddled with checks of unknown depth. I got to keep those checks from running out the edge. Biggest reason for narrowing it is that the rings are so small i can't see them, add that to the character on the back and i can't remove the sapwood. Thats making it challenging to keep any heartwood on the belly unless i narrow the bow.
