I’m amazed how far you bent the the center section as far as you did. Must really be great growth rings. I’ve got my fingers crossed that knot on the recurve works out. If anybody can handle it, it would be you.

Heck that looks like a primo stave Arvin.

Carry on. You got it under control.
 
Have you ever tried gluing on thin laminates on your built up handles. It really does help to keep them from popping off.

This certainly doesn't look like a typical AW bow...but I like it.   :OK  It will be fun watching what you end up with on this one Arvin.   :BB 
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...
