Dang, I need to make one.  What about a build along someday.  :laugh: What glue did you use?

This was a blank that James Parker glued up.  I don't know what glue he used.

I like it! I'm a sucker for boo backing. Did the blank come with the handle glued on or did you do that part?

I agree with Pat, too.  Tiller is just about SPOT ON!  Great choice of handle woods, too.  Very pretty bow, and certainly a shooter.

I like looks of your handle, but they are such a personal preference thingy.

Nice one, Clint. I've done several of Jame's blanks and they are always Top Shelf. Isn't that draw a little long? ???

Nice job on that tiller Clint, I will be coming back to look at it when I'm tillering my D/R bows because I believe you nailed it!

Bob and I seem to be on a parallel wavelength or something. Seeing a well-tillered (not to mention sweet looking) r/d bow is just what I need right now.

Ha!  I'm no where near that good.  I'm still learning on every new bow.
