So, I can't message the group all at once due to the 5 messages limit.  What do y'all think? Can you message me your thoughts.  It is quite early and I imagine there's some flexibility available, can you let me know if your open to widening the circle a little bit.

[Mo_coon-catcher]

I don’t mind at all. Join the fun.

No problem with me, more the merrier.

[Robert Pougnier]

No problem at all with me, the more bows the better. I won't be getting back to my shop for a few weeks and haven't started yet.

I don't mind

I welcome anyone to join. 
I have to start over myself.  After Z splicing two shorter billets together I laminated a piece of yew to create a handle.  I used too much clamping pressure and squeezed out the epoxy glue.  I was shooting arrows with a short 20" draw when the handle delaminated and then KABOOM.  Here's B4 and after.  Rookie mistake.

Dang man, no fun when they go on ya like that.  At least it's early enough in the trade to hit the reset button.  I still gotta get mine going.

You guys are great, nobody has objected, and lots of positive comments, thanks everyone.  It's going to be great!  Welcome to the trade Selfbowman, I'll send out revised recipients to one or two of you in the next few days.

Around getting some home repair stuff done, I made a little progress. Pulled with lingstring to 18” then did a second mild heat treat. I may blast it with some more heat to darken things up a bit more before I pull it off the form. I ran out of time to chase the young one before I could get it where I wanted. Then I’ll even things out once again and brace it up before finishing up the tiller.
