Very nice. I like all the knots on it.

Great looking bow, sure wish I could find some apple wood straight enough :(

 Very nice bow Dave, The profile looks great and you nailed the tiller. I have a couple crabapple staves that I'm I'm going to have to try some day. What did you use on the tips, and do you have any close up pics of the tips?

Keenan, I used some dark brown osage for the tips, which I use on most of my bows.  I'll get a tip pic.  I'll send you a couple pieces if you ever want to try it.
