Thanks Don. It’s been in the house but I put it out in the breeze for a few hours. I hope the patience pays off. I’m gonna put underlays on the recurved just for insurance. I’ll work on those whilst it dries. I’m likin it. The thing is a mess in a lot of ways but think it will make a shooter.

Well, my patience gave out tonight.  I went ahead and strung it up.  I looks to need a little reducing on both limbs in the mid outers, but nothing to drastic.  It's heavy and I have some room to play with.  It feels really solid.  Any thoughts on this from you sinew guys would be appreciated.  6 inches of reflex when I first unstrung it btw.

Looks pretty good to me I like the profile, I think you are right about the mid outers needing a little work.  As far as sinew goes I don't use it.  You thinking about maybe adding more sinew is that it.?

That’s it on this one for sinew. Still some work to do on it, but it’s all the less fun tedious stuff. After I get the tiller right, all the finish work. I don’t dislike that part, I just don’t get the fuzzies like I do on the early stuff.

Bob,
         Totally agree with the mid to outer assessment...6" tells me that the sinew is dry and has done it's job, excellent work Sir...
                                                                                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                     Don

thanks guys. Gonna work on the mids . Was going to tonight but ran out of time. I pulled the tip overlays off. Found something that wowed me for them. I will get a pic up of them.

This is some Texas Persimmon I have/  I cut into it to make a handle and it had the streak of Ebony in it.  I thought it would look great on the tip overlays.

This is one of the persimmon tips.  Pretty cool I think.  Did a little tillering on it today.  Took it to the tillering tree.  25lbs at 15 inches.  Loosened up the mids and now working on the fades, but it's close.

Thanks guys. I think the tips will look really good once I have whittled them down and shinnied them up. Hawk dancer, thanks for your service!

Alright....got some time on it today.  Tweaking the tiller, but it's close.  The sinew changed it some but not a lot.  Worked on the tips some as well.  Should finish it up soon.  I have some whitetail rawhide headed my way to cover the sinew with.
