Well most of it does. Pearly Boy must of gotten a weird piece. No pun intended :) If he doesn't get it fixed soon, I'm gonna buy it off him and make a bow with it.

It appears to have worked this time. Its actually 1/4" or so beyond center the other way. So if it comes back a touch I should be okay.  Im going to brace it tomorrow morning. Take it or break it? We shall see.

It came back a touch more than I like. The good news its cheated to the passenger side so the string wont hit my arm. I braced it and have it tillered back out to 22". Feels like about 45-50# there. Its either gonna shoot arrows in 30 minutes or knock me in the head.

Its official.............I made a damn pine bow finally. I added 2" of reflex after initial tillering, and kept over an 1" for now. I shot it a dozen times. Im going to let it rest for a few hours while I clean my crap hole shop up. They both need it....

No you didnt. It started coming apart after a few more shots. Knots cracking, sapwood cracking and so on. Its back in the corner it started in.
