I have exactly ONE of my finished bows in the house.  It's the first one I ever made.  There is a crack across the upper limb from letting an idiot overdraw it.  I should just get over it and let it go, but it was my first bow and it was more than that, too. 

On the other hand I have a couple really decent shooters from the likes of SA, ken75, youngbowyer, and local friends of mine.  I am blessed.

Just wet them good and gently make the fit keeping the back bone line down the center the best you can. :)
