Greg, thanks for the invite but that was Guy asking about being too far south. My plate is way too full at the moment.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

drew a center line and lay out lines on it..i think im happy with it,but ill prob sleep on it and come back to it tomorrow to cut it out if I still like it..heres some shots of both limb halves and a few close ups...I think were gonna have a 1/4" hole in the bow  8)











for some reason I had a hard time drawing straight lines in a few spots  :laugh:

Nice. Where does that knot lay?

It looks good from here. I think that bigger knot will be a few inches past a fade.

6" from a fade ....I placed both knots equal distance apart from center,and that also gave me the best handle placement as well....not sure if its static recurve worthy tho ...there's a undulating  bump at one tip from a knot underneath off to the side that I don't think I'd wanna try and make a severe bend at...plus with that dogleg,prop twist,n some mediocre bumps it will make it kind of a pain to align everything up,and will take multiple heatings(not something I personally like to do) to get it tracking just right...theres just too many signs telling me to make it a more simple flatbow and not a recurve or molly for that matter either...I'll be able to see things even better once I cut it out,but I think keeping this more simple is the better route for all ;)

Looking good Chris, glad it's in your hands for the layout. It's not a wild stave but always a few things to carefully consider,  good layout determines a lot about the outcome. Looking forward to seeing that back profile cut out.
