Can I get you guys to look at this picture to see if I'm getting close with fade length, taper and such. Thanks

I added another pic to show more limb

Those look good to me. Nice smooth transition.

Probably going to look like a straight stick from the back.

I was making sure he didn't have his width tapers after the thickness tapers going out of the fades.

Logically he has to have a bit since the bark is missing but not much more than that.

It's straight stick from the back. I'm planning on reducing it a bit but it fits better in the tree the way it is. The bow is 1 1/4" at the widest.
