Bushboy...Looks good to my eye.  Nice!

OK, last set of pics on this one.  Got it to 26 of the 27 inches I need.  I'm close on the tiller but could use another set of eyes.  Any thoughts???  Anyone???
The handle is set back a bit and is just flexing a tad at 26 inches.  I'll finish the tiller up, dress 'er up, shoot the fire out of it, and send it east.....of India.  :)

Shipped my trade bow out today. Something I wouldn't usually build, but came out good. Somebody east of me is getting a new bow nonetheless.

Slimbob, that there is a fine, fine looking bow.  Thanks for putting all the care and expertise into your work. 

True, not every bow shipped in this exchange is up to this level.  But it gives some of us something to aim for.  Thanks for the inspiration.  I kinda hope the person that gets this bow is a fairly new bowyer.  That way they will get something they can copy, something that will teach a few new tricks!

Who knows what is out there for me, doesn't matter to me as much as it does the person that is making it for me.  I'm gonna love it no matter what it is, so thanks!
