Pretty!

Put some tape back on and got the limbs profiled. That's as far as I'm gonna get this week. Headed out in a few hours to take my oldest daughter hunting in west tx. I'm taking a bow along because does and spikes are still open out there!    
I really wanted to put a string on her and see it bend before I left. But looks like it'll be next week.

I'm back! Got the string grooves cut in and put a string on and checked weight. Pulling about 62#. Hoping to end up a little under 55 by the time I trap and round the edges. Tiller is about 3/16 positive. I also picked up some Red Stag antler for overlays the other day. Gonna have to splice a piece in the handel area but it wont be visible by the time I shape the grip and put a wrap on it. What do y'all think?

Red Stag antler!!! Now that is really going to be cool. That's some good looking stuff. If you have any extra, I'd be glad to take it off your hands. Lol. Nice job so far. Can't wait to see the finished product.
