Parnell:
How thick do you think you've got those strips?  Did you reduce on the belly side, also?
Good post.

JoJoDapyro:
Looking good. These bows amaze me.

wizardgoat:
Cheers guys, I'll post more tonight.
Parnell- I reduced the back first, too make sure I had a nice even platform for the sinew backing.
When the back seemed good, I started reducing the belly, very slowly with a fine rasp.
They were about 1/4" tapering to about 3/16"

Parnell:
I started this some time ago.  Not easy to cut out and straighten those Dall ram horns.  I'm worried that I've violated the horn on one of my strips.
Anyhow, lots of projects to do.  Looking forward to watching your progress.  Best of luck...

Redhand:
Pretty cool. That will be a sweet bow when it's all said and done. You will be amazed with these bows.
