Braced about 5 inches.  I'm diggin' the bow, but those knots on the edge concern me.  If it survives, and I bet it will, I will make the determination then.  Just questioning the wisdom of sending one out with "issues", but they all got issues really.  Known or unknown.  Thanks for the reply DarkSoul.

Looks like you got that bow bending real nice and even throughout Slim. I agree with Darksoul that it it survives the shoot in then
its gonna make a fine bow. I'd happily accept it. :)

Also would be happy with either of those bows from Wildkat or Elktracker, nothing but fine bows coming out of this trade.  :)

I still consider myself very much a novice bow builder relative to many of the people here, having said that i can't tell you how valuable it is for me to see, handle, shoot, etc. a bow that i know is well tillered, and not longer than it needs to be. This bow is so smooth to draw and shoot. Thanks again, mwirwicki!

Great looking bow with the most unique hole. Add that bow to the Rorschach test and see what answers you get.
