Yeah my bandsaw is to blame for the depth of the cutout. It cut too much at bottom and of course perfect at the top. Still solid though.
Anyone make strings I could buy from that would compliment this beauty. She's 70" nock to nock.

Ok profile is roughed in pretty close to finish. While testing and stretching I heard a few pops close to the back and the fades.
I'm not close to full tiller yet.

Do I stop now and reback, put a snake on it or finish tiller and see how it goes.?

Or do I put it in knife handle pile?

I can't tell it may be any of those. I think ill let it set for a day so I don't do something stupid like overdraw or screw it up anymore.

Another question.
Getting close to final tiller. When finishing the hickory backing should I use a light sand paper?  And should I keep the backing square or can I round out the edges a little?

It's definitely a compression fracture. It's also looking like its coming unglued just at the crack. Can I cut it out sand it down and glue a nice Birdseye maple on then reshape with stronger fades?
