I'm not completely finished. All she likes is some sanding and a little tru-oil, or stain.

In other news I hung a new stand yesterday and found something pretty cool!

Great bow!!! Can you show us the unstring profile?

Looks good. Bottom limb looks very well tillered, I assume you have a little R/D glued in.

The top limb looks liek it might have a slight hinge 5-6" or so past the end of the riser, and midlimb appears to be a little stiff.

Hold off on the finishing. You have a funky tiller there and should fix it first. Ipe will fret and that top limb is close as Ben said. Being a uniform glue up bow your braced profile should also be uniform. Its appears you have a 3/8-1/2" variance from top to bottom. Im not picking on you, just trying to prevent a bunch of work on a bow that isn't ready just yet. Forget the draw weight and just get your tiller balanced out. That is ALL that matters.

Agree on the hinge and you should fix it, or you might lose it.

Thanks for the advice. That hingy spot is due to the boo being thinner in that spot for some reason. It's really frustrating... I was hoping to fix it while finish sanding, but it may be too much to get out with sand paper.
