Hickory Board Bow - Tillering Input

[Buckskinner]

Here's my ugly mug drawing it.  I did stain it last night, but it's not finished so can easily tiller a bit more if needed.

I'd say it looks pretty good. Hand pulling gives a more realistic picture of full draw than a static pull on the tiller tree.
...and your mug isn't any uglier than most on here so you are in good company. 
Now, go shoot some arrows.

Looks good to me too.  It appears to be canted just a bit - it's always hard for me to get a perfectly vertical full draw photo since I don't shoot that way.  Taking that into consideration, the bend looks nice and even.  Nice work!

Looks great~

Looks good to me to. I would shoot some arrows through it, and if it feels good at the shot, I’d finish it up. Good job.

Thanks again, guys.   Shot it a dozen or so times this afternoon and then first coat of polymerized tung oil went on.  It shoots surprisingly well, smooth and quiet, I'm not sure how fiberglass bows came into favor.  Need to work on my mechanics and aim thought!  Now to match some arrows to it, or start on a stave, probably both...

I'm not sure how fiberglass bows came into favor. 

Fiberglass is more forgiving of conditions (that's why I still use one for fishing), and it's easier to make uniform factory bows with it.  But targets and animals don't seem to notice whatever differences in performance might exist.  And once they're in your hand, nothing feels as good as a primitive bow.
