Man, the tiller on that one is killer. Oops I'm a poet that didn't know it. Nice job.  Danny

thats rhyolite ,tiller,and thanks to all you guys for your compliments,im glad to be a part of this site, and PA, it is so nice to talk with people that can appreciate  archery for what it is,i have lingered in the shadows and background for years doing my own thing,because of the mockery and jest that most other bowhunters have made about primitive bows and the skills alike.i hope to be  here for a long time,i dont know everything but i do have input and suggestions,and will help anyone i can,i will do my best to share info and knowledge as i can, and try to do some tutorials and build alongs if i can  pull everything together.   thanks again  all of you.............robustus

James, I understand but hope you make it. Bring some of them hemlock flags and fix my trees too. ;D I got adelgids too! :(
Brian, I would say yes for an ash Holmgaard especially with a full arc tiller like James'.

       I think this is about the nicest version of a modified holmie I have seen. I am going to save the pic to my lap top and use it for a model. Steve
