Nice work on both!
On the short one, I would scrape some more on the inner (mid) portions of both limbs to get more bend. I don't think you are to deep concave, but your stick seems to be quite narrow. hard to say from the pics ...

Thanks ya'll for the responses and nice comments.

DC--Not sure.  I buy used women's purses if they have good handle material.

Simpson--You're right.  I was going more for performance than just a nice curve.  When I got to below 1/2" thickness from crown to belly I decided to start shooting it with the idea that I would try another tiller vs. profile either later on this bow or on another if it didn't perform.    Wasn't sure how much the flatness of the belly would contribute to performance.

I just couldn't see a seam so I thought it was seamless. Camera angle I guess.

Beautiful bows, I especially like the bend on the yew.

Thanks Steve, I was confused.
