Nice background and presentation as usual ....that one looks like it belongs in the woods, hope it gets the chance to bring down game  ;)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

Cool!  The full draw sort of resembles an Egyptian composite with the angular deflex  in the grip.  Josh

Gun doc beat me to it.  Been wanting to make a bow of that design myself after seeing some egyptian bow images...someday.

I really like it. You are a wizard of a bowyer.  ;) Looks real fast. How does it shot?

"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

Now that's what I'm talking about!!!!!Did that with a 62" hickory H.T. and am wanting to do it with a slight bendy handle on a 62" osage.I'll totally vouch for the ease of shooting and performance of that design.Great job in retaining that much reflex.Tillering makes the bow!!!!!!!
