This was a 4" black walnut tree I harvested in IN last winter. I started out just trying to see how far I could push the limits of this wood, but soon fell in love with the way it handled and shot. It's decrowned, flat and wide, 2 1/4 at the fades, narrowed working handle with a scrap of beaver tail rawhide for a grip that was leftover from resoleing my mocs. 52" ntn, 60# @ 26". It was lacking in character, so I put some burled walnut tips on it, but the pictures were to blurry to see. I realize the brace height is a smidge to high, but I made the string out of b-50 and was allowing for stretch. I obviously overlooked the fact that short strings don't stretch as much as the longer ones I'm used to. The tiller may look a little uneven, but if you look at the unbraced photo, you will see the deflexed limb I had to work around, thus explaining the odd appearance of the tiller. Thanks for looking,
Josh
