Well I think I'm just about ready to send this one out to the unlucky victim errr I mean  unsuspecting recipient. I wrestled some twist out of the handle and some deflex as well. It came in under weight and the tiller is not spot on, however it shoots reeeeal good and looks even better. If I wasn't knee deep in a hail storm ( I'm a roofing estimator) I probabley would have attempted a plan B but no time. This one will have to do. Everyone thats seen it and shot it says I'm too picky and that its a super nice bow and it is but its not perfect like I want it. You guys set the bar pretty high and I'm still trying to get there.

Finished up the handle on my trade bow, finally. Been slammed at work. It is a hickory backed ipe 62"ntn with flipped tips and a slight bend in the handle. Leather over cork handle with kangaroo lace,  crepe myrtle and purple heart tips. The hickory has been stained with a light walnut stain and the finish is several coats of shellac and and polycrylic. I just need to serve the string. Here are a couple of pics. I will mail it this week.
