Thanks for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate it.
Here's some pics of my form. I used 2 pieces of 1/2" plywood and 2 pieces of 1/4". It's 70" long and 1 1/4" wide. I use a long bungie cord to strap the bow in the form and the holes are for my clamps to pull it into the deflex/reflex until I can get her all wrapped up. I wrap the limbs in innertube before strapping it to the form. I wish I had taken pics of this bow while in the form... but I didn't. I'll try to remember to take pics when I glue up my next one.

Phil, a friend of mine who owns a chrono is coming out sometime this week and I'll try to video it. I'm just curious as to how fast it is. You could come out and shoot it yourself! You know where I live, just give me a holler.

Would love to, but I'm chained up with helping finishing christmas shopping since my wifes surgery. :-[  After the first of the year, I am looking better. Good Luck though! Phil

Okie, that bow is truly beautiful.  It's so graceful and scream power.  Oh, the form is a work of art, also.  Class act all the way around.
