Well fellas-
     Spent all day in the garage finishing up this bow. Sanded and shaped the handle along with the front overlay part to give it more of a rounded feel. I am very pleased with the way the bow turned out other than the set it took (guess it was a learning experience to asked you folks what dimensions I needed) I shot the bow 100 times tonight and it was dead quiet in the hand. I would defiantly take this thing hunting this spring if it was mine. Anyways here are some unfinished pictures of the bow... currently experimenting with finish options on a scrap piece of red oak.








Thanks again guys for all the tips with the tiller... can't wait to finish this and send it out probably next week after putting on the leather. Can't wait to start on my next!

I would be happy with it!  Too bad I don't have a 30 in draw.  I know it's not coming to me now
