Nice one, Shaun! I gotta name for her....Twiggy!! ::)

I think I've just found my next design!

One question: how's the stack?

Oh, that is just perfect, but dont you need something to keep moisture out?

Osage is very water resistant and will not rot - finish is optional.

Scara... no noticeable stack out to 28 - I only pull 27.

One thing I really like about full compass tiller is that every part of the bow is working, even the handle area. A relatively shorter ELB design like this gives good speed for arrows in hunting weights, ie. 5-700 grns.

While I had the scale out for Druid I checked this one too, 430 grams (less than a pound).

Everybody about said it all, but dang it got to say that sir is a full draw of "perfect" beauty. Don't matter what it weighs, what the finish is, or anything else......that's a bow
