I didn't put any power wedges in it, i.e. short lams behind the riser and up the belly. I probably should have, but it's something I haven't tried yet. I haven't needed them at the light weights I've been building, but this bow is heavier than my normal. Here's a full draw pic, at 26":
I built this one to be as much like the personal bow of Howard's that I own as I could. From what I've been able to learn, when Howard built a bow for himself, he did not use any tip wedges or overlays... didn't like the weight at the limb ends... and he put all the lams fully forward of the riser, feeling that they worked together better that way. He did bring the belly glass up the fades on the belly. As I said, I tried to follow this pattern, and I'm sure happy with the result. Apparently Tom is, too. :^)
