Good Job so far on an interesting project 👍
What I see tough is, that you induced way too much deflex. You should start wirh the tips at least 1- 2"ahead of your grip. This one will work but you give away lots of early draw weight and performance.

Will definitely be watching progress on this one. I’m curious as what your plans for a handle is? It looks like you removed the wood for the handle toget your deflex?

Agreed.  +1 here for me.  I would see about less deflex as was stated.  Re heat the handle area to get your ideal deflex and glue on your handle to hold that shape if that makes sense.  Best of luck.

Looks like you got it all straightened out and a great start to an awesome bow. It’ll be awesome to see it have that profile at brace after you bend the reflex.

I’m curious to see how you build up the handle. Mostly the what are you gonna use for what look.

Simk my plan is to reflex the rest of the limbs enough to get the tips to lay in front of the handle a couple of inches. We'll see :)
