That is a cool bow. :) I am also a bit nervous about that tip though. Seems to have a bit too much leverage out there. Not trying to criticize. If it works for you thats all that matters :)

Man that is nice looking. I love the way you combined the wood in the riser and tips and the resulting color pattern is just amazing. Tiller looks right on as well. Great job. - Mike

Kent, you are the man.  I love your bows. 

Do you ever have issues tillering a bow like where you almost go thru one of your lams to get it right?  Or is it like a glass bow and almost tillered after glue up?

Thanks eveyone. 

Mark, when I started making lam bows I did get the belly lam a little thin.  It does take considerable more tillering than a glass bow.  I learned through trial and error and lots of side tillering before I got things the way I like.
