Very very nice PD.. Have ya kept all the reflex so far? I personally might take a couple scrapes on the 2 inches coming off the fades in the pic... It doesn't look like its working much and with a bow this short it might need to be... Just a thought.. >:D Can't wait to see the finished product!! ;D ;D

PEARL DRUMS:
I increased the brace to 4" and pulled the bow to 20" 50 more times. That annoying little flat spot is still there, barely. I scraped the width in that area again about 10 - 15 times per side and drew it 25 times. I like where it is now.

Dang that looks nice, I'm sure she'll turn out a great shooter
PEARL DRUMS:
I increased my brace to 5 1/2" and didnt remove any wood. Im calling that the brace height for now. It may go up or down as I tune the bow. The last few pics are of my final tiller. The bow is pulled to 20" in the last pic. The bow is going to be about 5# lighter than I wanted, but this tiny little thing just didnt have that in her. Im quite sure the speed it gets will more than make up for a few pounds in draw. Time to shoot it 40-50 times and see what it looks like. If all is well I will finish the handle and add some skins.

Could that be a tad stiff coming outta da upper limb?
