You mentioned having to narrow the blank an extra 1/4 inch AFTER you'd cut it out to work around a wind check problem.  That is about the point where I will often give-up on a stave or make it into a kids bow!  I really like the bend on this short little bow.  Very impressed that you managed to keep a NON-bending handle on it and still made a respectable weight bow.  Look out turkeys...
