As far as the signature goes, you could probably even skip the "made" and simply put "by:" and "for:".
With the recent photobucket nonsense, I have been lacking with posting pics. I'm not looking forward to creating another online account to host images, but I fear it's inevitable.
My 3 piece take downs didn't go exactly as planned, but it was my first attempt at the design. I should have made the angles where the limbs attach to the receiver much closer to 0 degrees than I did. Without thinking that much ahead I just copied a receiver designed for heavily recurved FG limbs. I'm sure I could finish them to the point where they'd shoot. Unfortunately, with the unplanned corrections/ shims they aren't an accurate example of my best work.
My plan B snakey elm is on the tree and giving me a bit of a hard time. One limb has a good bit of natural reflex and the dry heat reflex I added to the other didn't hold. I'm trying steam bending tonight. If that decides to stay where I put it, all she needs is some fancy lip stick. If it won't hold the reflex in the one limb, I'll just take it out of the other one. I may have to flip the tips to get the draw weight back up if I end up going that route.
While I'm waiting for the MC to stabilize after steaming I plan to start on an elm stave I harvested this winter. This one is about as perfect as a stave can get, so if plan B decides to continue being stubborn plan C should be a piece of cake, if it's needed at all.
I'll throw up some pics when I break down and sign up for a new photo hosting site.
