Nice work OB.  Sounds like you took it to the right people.  Thanks for adding the dirty details PD, I was wondering how you corrected that tiller and kept weight. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

I would've filled in the details but I was too busy listening and trying to follow directions! I now have staves drying, borer worries, wood plans, and hopes that when I get stuck (and I will), that I haven't worn out my welcome on my first bow! Thanks again!

Is it OK to shoot this bow when it is so hot out? I want to shoot a bunch of arrows thru her, but I'm not savvy on how well she will hold up in this heat and humidity. Even with 6 coats of Helmsman on her.
