I'm sure there's all kinds of things wrong with it, but I am really excited. I may have taken off a fraction too much from the limbs, when strung, the 68" string lies 8" from the belly side of the handle, can't remember now if that is within the parameters. One limb arcs a little more deeply than the other, I've now got it figured out that I only need to shave a very little from the one arcing more shallowly oo make them match. But both limbs arc without (to my unpractised eye) any terrible flat spots.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'll measure the draw weight and length, see what's there.

Osage, I could never in a million years have made this thing without your help. I'm in your debt. Thanks.

From one Dutchman to another;-)

Sam - I'd untwist the string a bit to get the fistmele down to about six inches. You're correct, shave off the shallower bending limb. No flat spots is good, no abrupt bends is good is as well. A smooth flowing arc.

You're entirely welcome, one Dutchman to another.
