Selfbowman:
Pat what does the back profile look like?

Pat B:
I've been heat tweaking some twist and aligning the tips a little lately. Once I made a new string and got her to brace I noticed more lateral misalignment. I'm just going a little at a time.
 I'll get the actual measurements but she has a gradual taper to the last 9" then taper to 1/2 tips for now.

Selfbowman:
Watching

Pat B:
OK, Selfbowman, the bow is 66" n/n, 1 1/2" at the fades, 1 3/8' at mid limb and 1 1/4" at 9" from the tips and tapers to 1/2" tips(for now)

Selfbowman:
Interesting on the 1-1/4” at nine inches. Width instead of thickness to hold the reflex in the last 9”. You plan making the last 9”a working part of the bow?
