hey thanks everyone!!!

i got the tapered bamboo from echo archery and thinned it down a bit on the belt sander.

then ripped a thickness taper 1/2" at the fades and 1/4" at the tips then it was bending enough to strap to my make shift reflex form.

Dang Bryce,

Seems like you've kicked your bow making to a whole nother level...  This is a real beauty.

Got me worried about holding down my end of our swap  :)

I'm dealing with some checking the handle of yours,  playing with an inlay idea to remove the checked area... hope it turns out.
