Thanks. I guess time will tell just how finely tuned that embellishment is.

Embellishment looks great Pat, fingers crossed.

I shaped the patch and retillered the bow. Got her on the tree out to 26" then decided to put a few arrows through her. She is pulling just over 45#@26" and is pretty snappy shooter. She's about 61" t/t. After 25 arrows the unbraced reflex is about 2 1/2" and after relaxing she holds 3 1/2". Here is the full draw pic on the tree...

I still need to shape the handle and tips and add the finishing touches.

Good build along Pat, thx for taking the time. Always exciting getting those 1st few arrows out of a new project. Tiller is looking good.

Good save. Thanks for the teaching.

Thanks guys. Even though it was stressful sometimes it was still a fun project and as far as taking the time to document it it really doesn't take that long and trying to explain a situation is a lot easier with pics.
Pappy, we'll see how well the patch works. The area where the patch is is not stiff so flexing the patch shouldn't be a problem...but we'll just have to wait and see.
