Here is a link to a photobucket. It contains pics of a Hickory board bow that I am making.
It is 66" tip to tip and backed with Kaki Slacks Material. I have it pulled to 56# @18" currently.
Shooting for 50-60# @ 28"
Thank you for your comments.

Roofus, your tiller is lookin purty good, left limb might need just a hair more bendin just outside the fades but that could just be the angle of the pic. Go slow with long light scrapes from fade to just a few inches short of the tips...your almost there ;). Good luck....Brian

Looks real good. I think it should be bending a bit more in the outer limb on the right. could bend a bit more in the fade on the left as well. mid limb is bending the most. especially on the right but its looking real good :)

Looks good but get more of that near handle wood bending to make what you need for your draw length. Jawge
