Muskyman:
Started working on this bow again a few weeks ago. Here’s a few pictures of it now I’ll add more pictures later today

Muskyman:
A few more pictures
70” long 49 lbs at 27”. It’s been keeping about 2” of reflex throughout tillering and some shooting. Right side in picture on tiller tree is the bottom limb

Pat B:
Very nice bow with good tiller. There seems to bit a little bit of hinge right off the left handle but not too bad.

Hamish:
Run some calipers along that spot and see if it is thin. It could just be the character of the stave unless it shows up as obvious localized set when the bow is unstrung.

sleek:
Looks good, and honestly there is such a thing as good enough. But, if you are bothered by how the left limb bends more, you can hit it with a heat gun to heat treat the area that bends a little more than the rest and stiffen that limb up to match the right limb. But, if it shoots well, and you are happy, by all means, leave it alone! Two inches of reflex are a hard amount to get and keep. Well done.
