Good Job. You obviously spent some time on the handle. Got your fine weapon bookmarked for March Self Bow of the Month, too.

Now that is a true beauty Joe. Great looking bow and the fact that you have no string follow without toasting or reflex is a testament to your craftsmanship. Congratulations on a great bow.     Keenan

Thanks to everyone for such humbling compliments.  I still have to state that Gordon really helped guide me through the handle wrapping; he and John Strunk(original design) need the credit here.

Pat B:  I scraped the bark with a pocket knife, that's it.  Also, I soaked the bark in warm water for 10 minutes after I cut the outline with scissors.  Then I applied with TBIII while it was still "moist".  The bark will be 95% dry within 24 hours of being soaked and applied on tthe limbs, and I usually let the bark sit and breathe in my home for another two days and let it dry on the limbs.  Call me if you need any help; but I doubt you do!

Man that's pretty. The tiller looks great. The way you did the cherry bark, is very unique.

That is a super cool bow. You've definately done right by the tiller... a bow that short needs to bend through the handle, and your tiller is perfect. 0 set is a testament to that. The bark backing is also VERY unique. Well done!! ;D

That is a SICK looking bow!!!  The tiller looks perfect.  I really like the backing, I have to agree about the beauty of that cherry bark left naturally.  It looks like the bow was grown.  Awesome job.  You should be very proud of your work.
