SLIMBOB:
Hey Mike. Thanks for checking in. I enjoy this a bunch. Hope something is useful to someone.

Will B:
I really like the profile and tiller so far. I understand keeping the knot a little stiff compared to the rest of the limb. I typically try to make whatever limb has the most character ( knots, snakey) the top limb. Just curious that you plan to make the limb with the knot the bottom limb. Can you explain why? 
Thanks for taking the time to show your work!

SLIMBOB:
Hey will. I was planning on putting the knot on top. After bracing, it appeared that limb might be a skosh stiffer so I flipped it. Still have wood to shed, so it could go either way. I just want the lighter limb up. All things equal, I would put the knot on top.
