Thanks Blafair
Thanks Jodocus
Sled, do not do that, you are turning out some beautiful bows!!!
Dave L, no, I have a bow for the clout and wand in the works...looong yewbow  ;) I am thinking the Kingfisher mojo in this one might make it a great bowfishing bow.  Btw, I have a bow for you that is shaping up.   >:D
Tallpine, wow! Thank you!
Peacebow thank you
Glis, that is a very nice thing to say.
Palioguy, Thank you
Thanks misslemaster.  It might not look like a challenging piece of wood to tiller, but it challenged me. 
Thanks Brad
Dave C, The camera is an entry level Canon SLR, an xti I believe.  Most photos were taken with the cheap kit lens that it came with, but the close-ups were taken with a sweet 100mm canon macro lens.  I justified the purchase of it when I was working for the Forest Service catching bats.  Lots of bat photo opportunities and not a lot of good bat photos out there. 
Thanks Prairie bowyer
Thank you Victor

Thank you Crooketarrow for the stave trade.

Really nice man. Every time I've done brush nocks I end up unhappy with the bow for one reason or another and end up chopping them off. I have a little pile of them. haha

Dude....
That is pure class.
It's got a sort of Art Deco quality to it, clean, simple elegant. Each element is in keeping with each other bit.
The photography is great too, the muscle shot is classical too. (I won't let Mrs Cat see it :-* .)
Nice bit of character waggle too, not so much that it won't perform, but just enough to be interesting... I'm running out of superlatives.
Del
If I was going to be fussy I'd say the tiller is a bit...
Nah... just kidding >:D
She's perfect :laugh:

Ha HA!  No, but I hear Billy is supposed to be coming out this way for a rabbit hunt.  I need to finish my loin cloth....

Thanks Del.  Now I am tiller conscious...  ::)  Thanks for the kind superlatives  ;D

Thanks Chris.  The Grumley brush nocks are quite a unique design.  It was fun to find my way through this build. 

Thanks Nathan, I am glad you are happy with the t/d sleeves.  :)
