Well I made it out to the garage. Couldn't get it to low brace like I wanted, so no pix. I'm on the hunt for some birch bark. I'm gonna try it as a backing. It'll be just for looks. Got my plan c almost tillered though. May come in shy. I'm chipping along

I got enough sinew shredded it's all antelope and muley. I also put about 4" of setback in the handle, I'm gonna try and get it backed this afternoon.

Put a notched dowel with a point widdled on the other end on the string to hole it into some reflex and then sinewed around the point.

Used the Pat M wrap method to get it smooth but put a layer of plastic coated meat wrap paper against the sinew before wrapping and heating. Lots of glue oozed out and the paper wrap peeled right off after it re gelled  ;D

Thanks Josh and Jordan,
Hoping to get to about 5" reflex when dried. It is pulled to only 3-4" now. Think that will work the sinew enough at 60"?

That's looking better pincushion. 

I got my plan A to full brace last night.  Looked over my victims stats and it is going to be at the low end of his stats.  I don't know if I should keep it or go forward with it for my trade bow.  I might go to plan B.  Which would be a far more difficult build.
