Looks like a beauty Manny, been awhile since ya posted a bow here. Hows the hunting been?
Simon most people put tip overlays on to pretty the bow up or to add strength to a very narrow tip.

Man, that's too bad that it chrysaled and collapsed on ya - tiller still looks "not too bad" ;D. The grain of that wood looks cool (in the close up) :).

I hate when that happens  :(, but if you build enough bows, it's going to.

Eucalyptus has always been good fire wood and the leaves are good for keeping the fleas away and maybe some rustic furniture,sorry you had to go though all that work. :)
