20.8 oz
Here is a good way to check out your pyramid. I you can lay all four sides of your limbs on a piece of granite with very little light between them well you did good. That’s real even diminishing mass. Going to finish tiller tomorrow. Letting glue dry 24 hrs.

That's a good tip for that style...thanks.  I'll bet it has a really nice profile when it's settled in and finished.  I hope the first arrow gives you a new record distance.   :OK

Well no it’s not the best bow of the year. A good one yes. Now the question probably none of us can answer. The bow is still taking set it will probably end up tips and handle against the wall. By trapping the back almost 30 percent did the bow fail in compression or tension???????

Oh total mass weight 20.8 oz. subtract 7oz for the handle 13.8 oz in the limbs. 67” ntn the force draw is poor in the first3-4” of draw. This is due to the set it took.

The final profile is one that makes for a sweet shooting and still fast bow.  I've seen some of Badger's flight bows with a very similar profile.  It will be a killer target bow.  You have an interesting question about the set.  It would make sense that it was due to tension, but it always seems to be due to compression in mine.  Great job though!   :OK  Happy New Year!
