Pigstikr -- simple elm bow

Posted this one recently for advice, finally got'r finished up! Enjoy
Cedar elm, light walnut stain, osage tip overlays with stringing grooves (my new fave). Some poly n wax to finish her off.
53#@28", tillered to 29" for safety. Holds dead even after shooting, tips return to about 1/2-3/4" reflex after rest. The recipient plans to use her to shoot hogs on his family property, hence the name
Noticed after the fact that my camera had autofocused on the grass in the background
AND the money shot
Thanks for lookin, and for all those who helped me get her here

Nice work Kevin!! At first I thought there was a sinew back on that, but it's just the canbium isn't it? Wow, that's a beaut. I can't fathom that won't live up to its name.

Very nice looking bow k-hat and the tiller is just spot on perfect to my eyes, real sweet bend. Those pigs are in for it now.

Killer bow Kevin. Did you temper it?

Lovely work with a hard-working, good-looking tiller. Kudos on switching to stringing nocks. I put them on all my bows. It saves the bow, the bowyer, and the archer from a lot of stress
