Well after so many post explaining failed attempts I'm happy to report a successful build of a maple backed maple R/D. Although even this was not without it's trials and troubles. I had a couple of compression fracatures which I was able to repair with the help of Dean Torges' technique for "Patching a Bow Limb" which you can read about here.  http://www.bowyersedge.com/articles.html

Without pics it didn't happen.

I'm with you on that. They're coming. Took some this morning but in my exuberance I didn't realize I was holding the darn thing upside down. Yall standby.

Ya I don't believe it either without pichers..  

Hey you guys try this link for pictures.

Nice Bill! Good work not giving up and repairing those fractures.

Thanks BMorv. So far I've put about 3 dozen arrows through it and it seems to be doing fine.  Time will tell.

If the previously posted photo link didn't work try this instead.  https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMJKREKSllVNtUfrf1enjGNsff1qlTvhGuVe-Kx

Good job.

Thanks Roy.
