That profiles look very good. The bow is quite short with short bending portions. Tiller job is awesome.

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Unbraced, braced, and f/d, that is one sweet and fast looking bow.

The square tiller taken with the front profile makes sense.  Bet she's a screamer.

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

That's how a burner of a bow should look like.
Quite short, narrow tips, premium tiller.
Love that bow.
