That is an amazing piece of work. Must have been tricky to work out where you were when tilering

Nice Bryce!  Very pretty piece of wood and your photos are well done.  That is a standout bow.

Absolutely stunning. Dont try and figure out why you dont like the way it shoots. Just send it to me and I will diagnos the problem.

That's a work of art! Even if it feels off in your hand, it might fit someone else’s. But man, that's beautiful!

That bow is a thing of beauty Bryce.  Did it feel better when your used heavier arrows?  It would be a great accomplishment to take some game with that bow, the ultimate achievement IMO.  Thanks for showing it to us.

Cheers... Rod

Daaaaaaaaaang!!!! Wow. So in love hate right now. Love the bow and kinda hating on you (complete and total jealousy... Obviously, I have accepted and embraced my flaws).

Amazing work.

Hand feel might be due to the pockets of limb stiffness that are the large knots? Regardless, you could not have crafted a better tiller, so you totally did your job! Good on you! Enjoy that beautiful bow!
