Need some of the more experienced Bowyer's to weigh in!  Looks to me like the Left limb bend is slighty off just in from the tip about 6"-8".    Otherwise, nice!

I have to pull out of the challenge, too many things going on outside bow making!

Got my latest attempt roughed out, from one of Allyn's hickory staves.  Going for a de-crowned, rawhide-backed meare heath/sudburry style bow.  The physically hard part is done; now comes the mental challenge.  Wish me luck!
