A little deflex and a little recurve should work out great.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

I got the boo glued up and the walnut handle . If  I get home in time I'll start shaving her down and get to tillering I think I'll take pics of this one as I go.

 OK I got it layed out today. I'm putting it over in the build-a-longs. Success or failure I'm going to keep it updated. ;)

That's considerably shorter than I would make it, but it may make a good bow anyway.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

Oh, I agree. But that was the length of the board. Really it was about 57" but chewed up pretty bad on the one end.
