Lol Roy n Guy  :laugh:

The mass weight was looking a lil too heavy after it settled down from some weight loss(moisture). So I took some material off the width to ~ 1 7/8" wide right now. Then I took a sanding block and sanded the back baby butt smooth. Fine tuned the floor tiller a little more,and that all took off 2.5 ounces where its getting close to be ready for overlays and a low brace. Its almost game time. Not sure if I'll work on it anymore today?  ???

It also reflexed its self a little more giving me an inch of reflex. As long as I don't have to correct any string alignment I'll be leaving this one heat free.

I would be more inclined to make an ERC bow narrow with a shallow D section.  Should be interesting to see how wide works

I saw this post and immediately wondered if it was one of those I sent back with you.  I have a sister or two to it still.  Good luck with it! I have one roughed out but haven't touched it in a year..

Looking good so far!

I haven't had any time to work on it lately...hopefully this week I'll get some time before the next arctic blast hits...its been a crazy cold stormy winter here out east...if I don't get to the shooting stage before this next cold blast hits I'll be having to wait till it warms back up some again. I have been checking the weight everyday,and it is stabilized now and has stayed the same weight the last 4 days.

slapped on some overlays and got it low braced..i first had it braced at 3",and I had to take some scrapes and sands on the bottom limb to even up a little ,and left the upper limb alone...then once it was evened up I bumped the brace up to 4" here as you see it...and ive been exercising it now out to 15"....looking pretty good

heres 4" brace



a lil tugging



unbraced ten minutes after unstringing
