"i think maybe if you sand the edges, you might have less noise."

Oh, I know. I already stained it though. I will next time for sure. Make them more oval with less mass as well, this one was more of an experiment"

"have you shot it yet?  your brace height looks pretty low"

Ya, shoots ok. Not as nice as I expected. Not bad though. When pulled to 28" instead of 26" it spits em out nice. Brace is way too low. I need to adjust the string. If I twist it starts to twist on the big loops."

congrats on finishing this one, these kind of bows can be very daunting to build when compared to other bows because of the siyahs. looks like you got past that though, and should be able to make the changes you want to in the next ones. looks great.
