Looks pretty awesome Ken!  Those sidewinder skins really make it pop!  Can't wait to see it drawn, from the braced profile looks like it is gonna be another one with a great, even tiller.  You are really gettin good at those recurves too.   :)

Something about this style bow that really gets to me. I don't shoot them well but love 'em. My last two shorties have been 60", bendy handle bows for my 26" draw. I tiller out to 28". I need to go shorter! ;)
You did a very nice job from what I can see. Looking forward to full draw.  8)
