Thanks for the kind words everyone! I really like using the Titebond- it didn't require me to immerse the sinew in glue, but moved around the strands as they were applied. It is also very water-resistant (was shooting in some light rain the other day- no problem).

As far as the handle goes- it isn't a true D-style. The handle area doesn't bend as much as the limbs, but the thinner handle doesn't have as much wood in between the limbs- I beeleiv this creates an effect similiar to thin limbs. It was fine even before the sinew.

Got to try another one of these when I get more sinew (really helped prevent string follow) at a higher poundage. Oooh- more projects ;D!

    Very nice looking bow Kegan.Like Oldbow said it look's primitive.On the next one,you can gain some speed by taking more wood off the tips.

Very nice bow, Keegan. I like the tiller. I also like that you were able to tiller in a little bending through the fades and into. Not a problem as long as it is done correctly by thickening the handle appropriately. Good job. Jawge
