And some more work, I do most all my handle work with a #49 rasp, slow and easy is my motto.

Looking good! That laser line is brilliant! I can't wait to give that a go next time my drawn lines are rendered useless. 

What wood did you use for your handle?

Not sure why all my pics are sideways, that’s not how they were taken on my phone. Sorry!!
I spray with Thunderbird , I’ve used others but nothing is as durable and as clear. There is no yellowing over time, the whites are still white even after several years.

Looks good with some finish on it :thumbsup:
Never hear any complaints about the Thunderbird. I don't use myself, only because I like to watch the finish dry. Just don't have that much time for the T-bird

Had a chance to run about 20 arrows through it today outside at 18 yards , first observations are that it’s feels very smooth in the draw, also pretty quiet upon release, very happy with the results so far. More pics tomorrow
