Nice job!
I think the changes you made will give this bow a better chance for survival! Did you get any blemishes under the clear glass over the flat grain zebrawood? I've done one with f.g. zebra and it's the only bow I've made that had blemishes under the glass. It's still holding after three years and the blems haven't grown. Think it was from the oil in the dark grain.

back view of the finished grip... not touching it any more.... now its time to ease the limbs in... got to shave 5lbs....

I'm thinking just trap them a bit huh?

Round them over real good and see where you're at-you could still trap if needed.

That's a very nice looking bow, Brandon! I wish my form was as good as yours! The only thing I see that may become an issue later on is it looks like there is a lot of work going on at the end of your fades. May cause stress lines in the future, maybe not. Time will tell. Great job though! I'm sure you are planning your next one already!! Mike

Thanks Mike. This is a .003 total taper I've built one with .004 and this bow is a lot more smooth.  I will put a plam in my next one to help push it out a bit... One mod at a time lol
