Here is a picture of the tips for you Jodocus.

 Pat, interesting is good. For the past few years I have donated a bow to the local firehall to raffle off at a bow bash, mostly compound guys, and none of them will say nice tiller, but interesting will sell tickets. I think this bow will go for that again.

Thanks to everyone else for the thoughtfull comments.

With limbs that wide for that much of the limb I would have went a little bit more elliptical. I love the look of this bow though. Great job! Thanks for sharing.

I do love character Bows like that :o that knot is well... amazing ! I am surprised, and a bit awestruck from the pictures it doesn't look like there's a lot of wood there ... Bravo
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...
