Very nice bow.  I really like seeing short bows bend.  The tiller looks great.  You did a really good job on that one.

thanks alot everyone,  i'm glad you like it. 

it is always exciting posting the new bow to see what everyone thinks.

I am becoming more comfortable with the whole process now,  this being bow 6.  espescially the tillering.

Nice bow. At only 50 inches I can emagine how light it feels. Love the profile. I wish I shared your comfort on tillering though. I am tillering a 60 incher right now and I'm as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. Well done Sir!

thanks guys,  50" does feel tiny,  it looks like a kids bow at first.  but it shoots great.   

Hillbilly, this is from the same tree as your wood.

Great bow and I like the idea of being able to move the shelf. Very nice

it would be neat to see a picture with the two bows together as they may have been when in stave form. Any chance of you doing that?
