That's a real beauty Pat! I really like the artistic detail you put in the bow...especially the tips. This one has some cool idea's that I'll make note of for future bows! Tiller looks good to me...look forward to seeing it in a week or so! ;)

Gordon, It is not the overlays that come off but the horn on the very end of the tips. They are glued flat to the end and the bottom one will come loose if the bottom limb hits the ground. By adding a pin through it , it secures it in place so it doesn't come loose.
   Marc, I can see the outer limb on the top limb is quite stiff. The bottom is a bit stiff too byt not as much.
  This bow will be coming to the Classic next week. She is as excited as I am. ;D
   Greg, I'm sure I have borrowed some of your ideas so feel free.
Pappy, we very rarely see larger copper heads around here. The little ones seem more apt to strike. Just ask my dogs! :o
Thanks everyone.     Pat

So Pat, did you tiller that thing out without a scale?  Just draw it to a comfortable weight, like you said in my thread on scales?

Radius, I do that with most bows. I make most for myself so I go to where it is comfortable for me and they usually come out between 50# and 55#@26"(my draw length) but I always tiller to 28" in case I sell or give one away to someone. I do have a scale but usually only use it to get an idea of weight early on but then not until I'm ready to write it on the bow.
  I think I will try to do a build along on the tips...but not til after the Classic.
  Thanks everyone. I have another bow I made for a raffle at the Classic. If I have time I will post it...and cowboy it ain't as pretty as this one...but just as functional! ;D       Pat
