Made a small boo boo with the limb pad on one limb reversing the overlay so the mosaic was on wrong end.

Gorgeous! By the way that wasn't a boo boo, that's how you tell the limbs apart?

"By the way that wasn't a boo boo ,that's how you tell the limbs apart?" Ha ha that's what I've been telling people.Brace height was about a 1/2''low too when I took these shots.

Very nice Bob!  Much better than the one and only takedown recurve I built.  That thing tried my patience getting the limbs aligned and un-twisted.
