Nice bow looking forward also to the finished product.
I like fast flight for a tillering string. It doesnt stretch which is nice when you are trying to put a low brace on a reflexed bow for the first time.

Josh.... I have been playing with it a Bit....but I have been working so much I haven't had time to really get into it.....It is going to make a really nice Bow though....Whether it is finished or not.....I am taking it up North with Me to show My Dad...and will be taking it to Dana's also....He was watching the Build too....so maybe you can see it too....as for the String.,.... I bought some Mountain Climbing Cord...it should be tough enough!!
