Your bows definitely have unique look.  The tiller looks spot on.  :) Can't say as I care for the way the grip looks with that squarish looking piece of osage glued on there but if it feels and shoots good to for you I guess that's all that really matters.  ;)  Sorry, not trying to be critical just a observation.  :) Square edges on wooden bows are a pet peeve of mine.....lol.  ::) I like everything smooth and flowing on my bows.   :)

I have to admit, when I first started seeing burnies bows, I didn't care for the block of wood either,  but I have got used to it, and it is unique and I like that.  Same reason I like Dave Knights bows.

Just remember, you can't put the wood back on.

You've got to be proud of this one and bookmarked, too, for Laminate BOM.

Would this be more of the style  you like?




I built this bow for someone else who has more of your taste. ;)  I personally do not like the shallow palm rests, that is why I make my personal bows with big ones.  I do appreciate the kind words and constructive critisism. ;)



Thanks to all of you for the kind words.  I truly appreicate it. I did get to go to Odessa to visit a friend and shoot some three Ds with this bow.  I really like the way this bow shoots.  I also got a chance to do a little rabbit hunting.  Got three rabits with it.  Really didnt go out to do some rabbit hunting, it just worked out that way.  A storm rolled in and got the critters moving.

Thank you very much Ronnie.

I got a chance to really shoot her this last weekend.  Went to a buddies three-d range and slung some arrows.  I really like the way this bow shoots.  Even got a chance to do a little rabbit hunting.  I know its not the weather for it, but while walking the range, we jumped 4 rabbits.  My buddy shot one and I shot the other three.  We cleaned them up and plan on using them to bait up a trout line.  Im thinking of using the skins to cover a quiver.
