Very nice bow Eric. Like it alot, looks very authentic. Good job on tiller and painting.

Bottom limb looks a little hingey about 2/3 way out toward tip?  Is it taking a little more set there?  Pardon my being critical.

Just a sweet design, I like a bendy handled bow with a little narrowing at the handle.  Lots of working wood and the comfort of a handle.  A very nice outcome.

Very nice bend on that one.  Cool bow.

Very nice bow Eric. I love the NA replicas. That is a fantastic bend!

Nicely done!

Thanks guys for the kind words.

Richard--very perceptive, the arrow still has a tendency to roll off the hand but luckily the photographer didn't get shot.

Tom Sawyer--yes it does look like a hinge but actually about 2/3 down the limb the crown dips and is followed by a 'bump' on one side.

P.S. Some people do not like the 60's style panelling on the walls. I like it, seems to ad warmth and comfort.
The way I look at it if something is painted so be it, at some point in time it has to be painted again. Just like bows some are painted, eventually it will get nicked and scratched, but there is nothing like a good old coat of oil or clear coat.
