Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

My thanks to everyone for the encouraging comments.  I had lots of fun trying to make this one special.   Dave, the photos on the tillering stick are nearly full draw (26".)  My wife was out of town the day I was taking these pictures, so I didn't have a photographer.  I'll get a photo of me bringing it to full draw today.    Ron

Very neat looking bow, and good tiller, too.

Hi,
Dana,  Yes Mt Lassen is the area where Ishi was from and the general area where his remains were interred.  I believe Mountain Juniper was his favorite bow wood.
Dave asked for more full draw photos so here they are.      Ron

Great job on a challenging bow to make! Tiller looks really good as well.
