Thanks chuck, how would I make a stringer?

George Tsoukalas:
Sean looks that right limb needs to bend a bit more closer to the handle. But you need to make sure the knotted area. Looks like a tough stave but I know you'll put your best foot forward. :) Jawge

Here it is after a night's work. I know it's not perfect, but I worked on it a while and decided to call it a night. It's bending at about 40lb at approximatly 10-11". It's getting there!

1/2primitive:
All right, I got it bending up to and a past brace hight, I'll try to string it tomorrow. I gave it a quick try tonight, but it still streached too much even though I have a 22 strand dacron string. >:(
