Beautiful job.  Tiller looks great.  I'd be very proud of that bow, especially for a first!

Incredible first bow! The bottom limb is just a tad weak compared to the top. To keep from droping poundage you can cut an inch off the botom limb and it wil be just about right.

Eric, did you mean the top limb? I have it tillered 1/4 pos. This bow was built from a roughed out stave from Gary Davis ,I didn't take it from log to bow so I guess I cheated a little. I started right out floor tillering it. Thank you all for the compliments. I think I'm hooked on these bows,I can't see me going back to glass !
