Pure luck lol the two woods are very alive with grain so once the contours started to work in there they lined up great

Looking good. What did you do for the limbs on the beauty?

I originally had a set of spliced limbs for it but after the customer saw the cocobolo laminates I had cut for another bow he chose those. I will post them tomorrow
