Very nice! They will be very happy with them.
I'm gluing up one for my granddaughter today.it will be my second attempt, first one came out a little light. This time I'm adding a veneer to the stack hoping to hit a better draw weight for her.

Thanks guys

This is the 80 percent size of the fhlb

It's 52" and draws to at least 28" before stacking , a heavier weight one may or may not do that ??
