Only dimension really needed is handle width at where your shelf is cut in. This determines if you can make it left handed. If not enough wood, tiller to the pictures I sent you of which profile best matches your limb tapers and layout.

If I can’t it’s not a big deal. I can shoot righty pretty decently. Next one I make needs to be an ambi bow.
