Hera, great job!

I have a question about the limb pad wedge. Why dont you just originally cut the limb pad to 15 degrees instead of 18? Was that a change you decided to make after getting everything done?

I using limb pads base on 2 reason.
I think the main reason is reduce the impact between pin and belly side glass .
Second reason,make the limb butt surface parallel to help the limb bolt stable.
Some bowyer have a parallel limb butt design, they don't use limb pads,such as Morrison bow.

This thread is terrific! I have been making selfbows because I love using the hand tools to make them. I now have a new affinity for your bows as well. Thank you for posting this build-along, and PLEASE don't stop now!
