LOVE it.  The bendy handle bows are serriously under rated.

Thanks for the compliments :)

I really dig the bend-through-the-handle bows. This is my second, my first was a BBI that was bendy. I'm thinking of trying a short osage flatbow next.

Is that straight tapered from the handle at the widest part or is there a section of wider limbs?  Give us a back shot?

Back shot. I marked the center and just tapered straight from there to the tips.

You getting the sense that people in here approve of your bowbuilding?
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Yup.. I did one like that.  Worked out well. the one I did with faces split at the fades.  I like this design.  And it goes pretty fast too.
