I guess it's ok.

Don't try to make it something it ain't. Don't remove or ignore the effects of the 'extra' reflex trying to make it take on the profile of a more straight-limbed bow. If you do an excellent job of pretapering, front profile shaping, and initial faceting of back, belly, and dip/handle, BEFORE you introduce her to the tree, she'll mostly show ya what profile she wants to be. You can persuade her some, but don't ignore her.

Worked on the riser and horn over lays tonight. The riser is Pau Rosa that Mr. Morris gifted me, awesome stuff.

   

   

This is a cow horn tip Trapper Rob gave me, really nice horn. I measured and then cut them down the center.
   

And got this.

Prepped the horn over lays and bow tips.

   

Then glued them on with Smooth On. I refuse to use cheap epoxy or super glue for tip over lays. Do it right the first time and don't look back.

   

Then I glued on the riser with Unibond800, not that cheap TBIII that Razorbak uses, LOL.

It would have come out better if you had filled that box up instead of only doing it half way!!! Half a box half a bow lol  Looks Good
