Great looking bow.  Those short flipped tip D bows really do shoot quite well

Thank you all for your comments!

BTW: The arc in the first pic is not a circle - it is a shallow ellipse

Great looking bow Simon. Your always coming up with cool new stuff like that handle with the toes attached.
And nobody nails a tiller better than you, excellent bow once again.

Hi Simon,

What an awesome looking bow! I love the toes as well. Perfect tiller and nice shape. It must be a blazingly fast bow. Have you chronied it? I like bendy handle bows the best, its all I am currently interested in, so this is a great example of a perfect bendy handle bow. With zero set you must have floor tillered it for a long time before stringing it?

Dang, that is a beeutifull bow, simply beeeutiful. Maybe someday in far distant future, I'll be able to build a bow such as yours. a tip of the hat to you.

Again thanks for your nice compliments!

I haven't shot it through a chrony yet, but will do when i get my hands on one.
I do no floor tillerering. I spent much time to work as precisely as possible before bendind the stick for the first time.
I do the first bending horizontally (with a long string or a tiller string with leather shoes (in case I have no notch) hanging the string in the vise . This allows drawing the bow and watching vertically with no perpective angle and additional feeling the amount of bend with other hand on the bow 's belly

Thanks for the clarification and the tip, I will try that myself as well.
