This is more of a holmgaard style,Truely a boxy tiller but after a 1000 or more looses it holds it"s profile!the magic of good white elm!

Been waiting to see you finish this one.Nice!!!!!....Good old hedge doing it's thing being a work horse of a bow.Does the wiggle on the top limb tip move the string over for ya a bit on the handle?

Thanks Ed it moved it maybe a hair but it pretty much lined up right down the center of the handle I left the handle thick during ruff out just in case there where issues & I cut it closer to center this was one of those staves that every thing that I thought could be a issue never was a problem it was nice but I don't think I will try lightening the levers up so much that they started to flex and heat treating them rigid it worked but got lucky at least I know there at minimum mass....lol
