Bob Barnes:
What happened with this project Dave?

superdav95:
Hah.  Ya funny you should ask.  I had got this low braced and didn’t like to profile.  It’s pretty heavy too so I need to work a bit more on this one to get it to the shape I want.  Back burner for now as I get gluing up other bows.  I may post a pic of the low brace anyway if I get around to it.
