Excellent!

Excellent tiller and very nice bow Knapper. I see allot of similarities to the one you built for me on the trade. Still love shooting it and it's great to see you venturing on with the first scenarios that you did on the one you made for me. I liked the feel of the grip so well that I aquired some beaver tails and made my first beaver tail grip several weeks ago.  Well done  Keenan

I think you got a winner on your hands.

I like how the skin stops a bit shy of the tip on only one limb.

Very nice bow ya made.

Very nice. I love the tiller, love the handle, love the backing, love everything about it.
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

That is a sweet bow Knapper.   8)
"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
