Thank ya coaster! Hopefully I will have some pictures of the finished bow up soon, maybe in a couple days if I am lucky! I will try to get a shooting video up, lately youtube has not been uploading my videos correctly, but I will try to work around that,  ;D.

Nice bends!

That's a lovely tiller you got there! :)
The lower limb appears a bit short. Is it shorter than the upper?

Keep them coming. You're doing great.

Thanks everybody!  8)

"The lower limb appears a bit short. Is it shorter than the upper?"

Darksoul: It might be bending a bit more on the bottom, or it might look that way because I am canting the bow in the picture, but both limbs are the same length.

Thank you for all the kind words everyone. Hopefully I will have some pictures of the finished bow up soon...  ;D
