What a beautiful bow.  Tiller looks absolutely perfect.  I really like the paint job.  And 25" from a 50" bow. :o.  Really great job.

Thanks folks.  George, I kept an eye out for ya at Denton.  Too bad our paths didn't cross. 

I actually cut the stave for this bow back in 2001.  One end had a hard 70 degree twist, so it I let it set in my stash of yellow sticks all these years.  The rings were nice and thick though, and the back had a low crown.  I knew that if I kept it short, I could lop off the worst of the twisted end.  It almost begged to be this bow. I still had to heat a good degree of twist out, and in the end, nearly removed it all.
