Peacefullymadewarbows: haha you make me laugh

Limbit: yeah sure is, there are a couple on the property, they are neat critters to have round, make a good job of the kitchen scraps and fish frames  ;)

Thanks Upstate, your bows are an inspiration, and I really appreciate the way you ask for second opinions as you work your tiller out on some of your bows, it lets us side liners really get to experience what the top tier are looking at to achieve the perfect tiller.

PeteC: haha hopefully I remember this one in 20 yrs!

B2W: I like the way it shoot, but then again I don't have much to compare it to. I would probably use less of a taper on the working limbs if try this profile again, would love to end up with no string follow.

Rob: Thanks bro, I'm looking forward to you posting up a couple of the ones you have been working on, can't wait to really see what can be done with our natives  (SH)

Nice work on that one! The paint job, stain, grip, overlays. Like it all.
