I just started on a wormy piece of hickory.Cutting down thru the back until I hit a clean ring.I thought I would try a D bow and after looking at yours,it's cinched. Thanks for sharing. That's a fine looking bow !   Frank

Thanks everyone for the kind words.I really appreciate this coming from such fine bowyers.This bow was actually a splinter off a large stave,(that was nearly a walkin' stick).I like to build whitewood bows a bit wider normally,but this piece was a sort of a test.I did heat treat the limbs,and I'm sure that's what peaked it out,but ,I won't hesitate to use narrow staves at all now.Thanks again,and God Bless

That is by far the nicest "D" bow I have seen in a long time. That looks like what I would call a perfect tiller for that bow. Congratulations on a really fine bow.

That bow made me smile. I like it, simple but deadly.
