Blimey, that's a great job on a tricky short bow.
If that's your first self bow you are well on your way to being one heck of a bowyer.
Great job to get a bit of Ash to do that.
I s'pose we should see it unstrung...
Good to have you on board  :)

Lovely bow. Looks like you have it all down. The tiller looks spot on and even more impressive is that its pulling half its length. Exellent job and congratulations on your first stave bow.
