Here it is at 45#@27"  One more inch to go - How does it look?  Any recommendations?

I would get the middle of the top limb working more. Looks like you're gripping the handle a bit low. Flip your pic vertically and you can see the lower limb is bending more.

Thanks! I gave the top midlimb about 10 extra scrapes from the last pic, and then did all of each limb till I dropped the weight and gained another inch. Ill give it another 10 scrapes and try and bring it around.

Un-strung picture of how it is now would show any high stress points or potential problems.

They are but tips can end up in the same plane with totally different distribution of bend.

That's the unbraced, sorry about the lack of contrast.

Yup, I'd say you're doing just fine with that one.  Great job.  8).  from my armchair it maybe could bend just a hair more at the 1/3 mark on the upper limb.  But its hard to argue with that unstrung profile. If the weight is good, and its shooting well, I'd leave it. Nice job man!
