Wow, thanks guys! Can't remember the last time I got this much feed back on anything. Really I was just glad the bow worked out. The grain in the core goes wild with swirls just as it reaches the handle and was full of tears in the grain from the jointer. I had to do 3" longer handle lams than I normally do and left it stiffer in the fades than I normally do. There was also a drying check in the core mid limb that ended up on the edge of the limb during tillering. I tillered the bow with out a patch but wrapped the spot with sinew after I was done. That's what the little leather wrap mid limb is covering and the other limb has one too just for symmetry.
