"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

I wouldn't really call that a R/D bow, but it's certainly a recurve. Nicely done!

Nice tiller bushboy.  Tiller looks spot on.  I have never drawn a bow like that so I cannot say one way or another about smoothness.  But I love the lines. Good job.
