Greg, thanks for the invite but that was Guy asking about being too far south. My plate is way too full at the moment.

drew a center line and lay out lines on it..i think im happy with it,but ill prob sleep on it and come back to it tomorrow to cut it out if I still like it..heres some shots of both limb halves and a few close ups...I think were gonna have a 1/4" hole in the bow  8)











for some reason I had a hard time drawing straight lines in a few spots  :laugh:

It looks good from here. I think that bigger knot will be a few inches past a fade.

6" from a fade ....I placed both knots equal distance apart from center,and that also gave me the best handle placement as well....not sure if its static recurve worthy tho ...there's a undulating  bump at one tip from a knot underneath off to the side that I don't think I'd wanna try and make a severe bend at...plus with that dogleg,prop twist,n some mediocre bumps it will make it kind of a pain to align everything up,and will take multiple heatings(not something I personally like to do) to get it tracking just right...theres just too many signs telling me to make it a more simple flatbow and not a recurve or molly for that matter either...I'll be able to see things even better once I cut it out,but I think keeping this more simple is the better route for all ;)

Looking good Chris, glad it's in your hands for the layout. It's not a wild stave but always a few things to carefully consider,  good layout determines a lot about the outcome. Looking forward to seeing that back profile cut out.
