Be careful on edges of glass to always grind into the wood. I think it would pull a sliver up if you grind from wood out to glass. Haven’t done that trick yet but think it is very possible.
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Sweet bow Kenny.  Thanks for the build.  
I love the profile at full draw.  That's the shape I'm striving for with my r/d wood lam bows.  
How much r/d does this form have, and are the limbs different lengths?

And If I'm asking for more information than you feel comfortable giving out please don't.  I'm just looking for a rough idea so that I can compare your profile to what I want mine to look like.

Ben, if yo put the bow back against the edge of bench with tips out on bench, it has 2.25" deflex and the tips are 1" out on bench. so 3.25" reflex?

Not sure what the proper method of measuring D/R is....
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Me neither.  As long as you have a reference I guess it doesn't matter.  
It looks like you have more deflex and the same reflex as my block form.  My center post is 4" the mid post is 3" and the tip post is 6.25".  So I say I have 1" deflex and 3.25" reflex.  Not sure if that's right.  
Thanks.  I think it's close enough where I can try and make my full draw profile look like yours.

Yeah yours is shorter too and you use glass.  I just really like that profile.
