Bubby,
     Just saw your post, been gettin ready to feed some stone to some deers ::) Believe that ya did a righteous job on the tip flippin for the mollegabet. That workin recurve profile seem to add a bit to the ones I tried it on. That shorty is definately eye candy but ya know us vertically challenged folks got a thing for short anyways. 8)
     Like 'em both, sir!!!!

They're both looking really nice, the maple backed ipe has a beautiful tiller with the subtle curves. I'm anticipating seeing the molly with flipped tips strung up and drawn  :)
