24.2 ounces right now. Probably 3ounces coming out in handle section. Going to be interesting for me to see what the end weight in mass and draw weight will be.

thanks for posting Arvin.  I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out my friend.   :OK

Looking great Arvin. Seems narrower than you usually build them. Can I ask why? Just curious as I'm always looking to learn.

Bill and Steve.... Arvin is the wood guru. Now to see how far it will shoot. Elegant Arvin with no frills, and a linen string most likely. :BB (SH)

Steve just a test. I am going to find out how narrow I can go with little or no set. Taking mass off the back making the tension weaker and the belly stronger in compression. May decrease total mass also. May blow up. We will see.

so you are building one of your normal bows but trapping the back to remove mass?   :OK
