It looks like you took the crown off of the the knot in 2nd pic. I always add a drop of super glue on knots just for insurance.

I may have a tiny bit in that pic its a bit scuffed up from some more ruff sandpapper.. is it okay?  Ill smooth it out before bending of course...

You done good :)
But you should measure the width of the knot and add that onto the width of the limb there. This will keep strain levels where they should be.

Okay thanks bownarra... i followed the grain around the knot, is that what you mean? Or should i add more width there? I have extra width right now so i can leave that bigger if i need to.
