That looks great. I really like the profile.<><

[Buck Buckley]

I tapered mt osage 3/8 to a tad under 1/4 at the tips. Itiller it by scraping or sanding the belly depending how much i need to take off. Wingnut going to order some more tonkin next week. Waiting for your video should be here on monday. Heard that it is packed with great info cant wait to watch it.

One more question,,,, how wide is the back of the limb at the fades?

[Buck Buckley]
