Really nice bow! Tiller looks great. Looks like its 2" near the handle and 1/2" tips? How thick are the limbs? Sorry for the questions but I've got three Osage stave ready to tiller at this length and really like what you've done. Thank you!

Like that a bunch.  Looks like a sapling bow with a bit of a crown on it??

Lotta bend on that shorty and every bit of it looks like it's doing it's proper share of work, you really brought the tiller home on that fine bow.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Man, that's nice.  Perfect tiller on a fine hunting bow.  That unbraced picture tells the tale -  great work.

Nice!
You really pushed that wood too the limit.
