Pretty sure I'll have time to get mine bending a bit and overlaid tomorrow. Going to have to steam the handle for a little alignment work.

Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.

bubbles, got the bow today, it is a beautiful bow, you seem to have had someone that knows me whispering in your ear, it is perfect for me, I shot about 25 arrows this afternoon and it is quiet and fast, I'll post pics tomorrow.
Thank you

What kind of maple is it, I've had no experience with maple self bows, the heat treating really works great.

Update on mine. Still roughed out standing in the corner. Probably won't get much done on it till after the classic. Going to Omaha this weekend to see my wife. Then the classic next weekend.

Bow looks good bubbles! I bet Duke was surprised! Can't wait to see more pics either. Patrick
