Looking good everyone, sorry Pearl , but that does happen when working with a challenging piece of wood.
I made a little head way on mine this weekend, braces and got it out to 20 inches at about 38 lbs looking for around 50@27 so plenty of wood left to work with,also back on the form for some R/D and string alignment. I will give it a few day to get over what I did to it and then finish tillering.
