Looks great, I like hickory, especially if heat treated.

EXCELLENT WORK!  Very nice bow.  Clean, simple, functional, beautiful!  Good job!  I'm jealous.

Have been shoting a lot with the bow now and i love it.i also thinned the tips a bit and made them a bit oval to get them lighter but still stiff,i also tweaked the tiller a bit.
Im a bit confused over what happened when i did,i was prepared to lose some weight but i went from 53 and a bit to 54 and a bit after scraping it lightly,thats not how its supposed to work  ???
The only thing i can imagine is that it dried up some and gained weight between....nevermind im happy for it ;D
This is how it looks now


@ soy i think the reason it is straigh unbraced is that i induced a bit of reflex when heattreating it,so consider yourself "let in" on my secret ;)
