Radius, from top to bottom this thread made me smile. Nice to see your son involved. Congratulations on your bow.   Jawge

thanks Jawge!

i sent my kid a link to this thread on facebook, and he wrote, "wow, dad, that's freakin' awesome!"

Again: really nice bow!
SCARY knot!!!
I never made such a D-bow but that's on the top of my to-do list, so I have a question: The picture where you pull it (the one with certain face expression, if you know what I mean...  )  it to me looks as it had a lot of bend in the handle!?
Or is that just my impression (the tiller tree pic looks different)??

it bends all the way through, yeah.  I guess my hand has more shape to it than the top of my tiller tree, so the thing can bend more completely.  Man, i feel like i could just keep pulling this thing and the tips would touch before it broke!  Maybe we can get Pat B's tall friend to try it? 



Thanks for the kudos, guys, i'm really happy about this bow.  First d-shaped yew-bow ever.  Love it.  Now i know why they make em this way.
