Yes I decided to remove the handle so that it would bend easier. Not sure what I'll glue back on yet.

I’ve thought of but have not tried yet. But here is a pic for putting reflex or deflex in a handle riser.

Selfbowman:
Probably should put a piece of wood on the belly side of the handle after he shim is installed.

I have experimentd with the shim-method Arvin but didnt become really happy with it. Nowadays I returned to just bending the deflex at fades....

Leighton, it can be tricky to fit in a piece of handle in a place like this. The most convenient method to me seems to just press and fit in a few lams. Looking forward to see your progress 👍

Selfbowman:
Smik I thought I’d try one my glue on pieces nearly always pop off. Probably just me and my glue ups.
