Got it to 47lbs at 20" after I got the bottom limb bending better and now I can see that the top limb on the right is stiff mid limb.

Some pics from yesterday while I was sanding the tool marks. It pulls 60lbs @ 26" now and should hit that at 27" which is my draw length once finished and shot in I would  think.

Looks great. Would like to see the full draw picture when you get it finished up.

That came out very nice, Razorsharp.  An Osage r/d design like this may be next on my list.  Nice work!
