Here's a unbraced pic, I hope you can see it ok. It kind of blends into the background  :-\

I still think it needs a bit more bend on the right limb in the mid limb area. Maybe a bit on the left limb in the same spot. But not as much as the right limb. Hopefully this made sense.

Also, try to find yourself a way to make you a clean backdrop. Like a piece of plywood painted black or white. It will give you a better look at the tiller.

Once an Eagle Scout, always an Eagle Scout!

Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

I think I'll stop here. Starting to get into a well tillered matchstick territory  :o ::)
But seriously this is only the second time that I have come in under weight, normally I have the opposite problem and have to bring it down :-\

Also I look about ready to pass out in this pic lol
