Ken Im glad the bow worked out for you it looks great!!! Its too bad people on this site cant just say hey nice bow they got to pick stuff apart like missing pictures or such! I dont give a rats damn about BOW OF MONTH or a tiller pic if I show progress or just feel like showing off my work that should be that. I got people who get so upset they cant post and say good job because I didnt post a tiller picture...wow ok It would be like saying that everyone on here make the same style bow or all use the same materials over and over again. Im sorry for getting like that but people have gotta stop! I didnt know youcant just post what you had just to show what you have. Ok well I got to head to work or I might say a little too much. KEN your a good guy and a good friend I hope the bow makes you meat. Call me we will talk aboutit on the phone.
Russ
sheesh dude chillax.
i dont think Jawge was meaning anything bad,other than the fact its hard to "see" the bow in the full draw pic.the background in it is awful busy and hides the lines of the bow,and not to mention the bow itself.
damn some people get upset over nothing

First off let me start this off by saying that is a very nice bow... I think the finish work is outstanding, the tiller looks great.
Now for Russ,
There is nothing wrong with showing off your bows, We all know what kind of hard work goes into these things. I will always comment nicely on the ones I see, but without a good full draw picture, it is hard to see the heart and soul of the bow which is the tiller. If you just took pics of the bow showing off the finish work it might as well just be a painted stick. This is the bow category and the main functionality of the bow is its ability to bend evenly, not the handle wrap, tip overlays, fancy dye job or any of the other stuff... people are going to want a clear pic of the tiller on the bow, that is all there is to it. Not meaning to raise a fuss or anything, that is just the way that i see it. :)

Howdy Ken,
Hey, nice bow!! It looks like you put plenty of TLC into 'er.
Question; What are the widths at the fades and at the tips, and where (how far from the tips) do you start your taper?
How about a close up pic. of that handle?
Thanks for sharing your workmeship,
All the Best,
Canoe
