Wow George I just found this thread. That is looking really good. I still haven't tried to make one of those bows but definitely have it on the radar. Tiller looks great and I like the overlays on the tips. Going to make someone very happy. Great job on your gift.

Thanks guys, you're all very kind. I am so thankful to be a part of this. No matter what kind of bow you want to make, there are so many fine examples available here to look at (most with build-a-longs) that you never want for ideas. Add to that access to the best bowyers in the world when questions come up and you just can't beat it. I'm having more fun building bows than I have in years. To borrow a line from Pappy, life is good.

I missed this one George. Great job.I'll bet it is quite a shooter. God Bless

Thanks Pete. It was my Christmas Exchange gift and ironically it went to straightarrow right after he posted. I will make another one of this style bow and try to do a better job on the tiller. I've got a nice honey locust stave I might try.

Gorgeous, George!

...erm, the bow, not you.

Never a doubt John...

Nobody uses that adjective and my name together, even my wife won't stretch the truth that far...

Hey, I'm getting close to putting your rawhide on that S-curve bow. I cut the handle out yesterday. Might have some pictures for you soon if it holds together for a little more tillering.

Thanks,
George
