Wow guys, didn't expect to see this thread resurrected after so long :) 

Thanks for the compliments guys.  This has undoubtedbly been my best bow.  I love everything about it and have kidded my buddy about trading him another bow so I could get this one back >:D  It is easy to brace because of the mild R/D, very stable, FAST although I wish I had a Chrono so I could get real numbers, Doesn't stack, and is very quiet. 

BigCountry,

Yep 4 nodes on the boo.  The power lam is 14" The longest lam used to build up the riser was 11", after shaping and a little bit of work in the fades it ends up just over 10" usually.  The shelf isn't cut quite to center, I only recently made one cut to center.

Thanks again for the compliments.  The trade bow I will be building will be as much a replica to this bow as possible, in so far as unstrung, braced and FD profiles.  It will be much prettier though, and I'll probably go even skinnier on the tips.
