I said I would post this when I was finished that was in February, Since then this has become my go to bow. The tiller doesn't look that good to me but it shoots very well, no hand shock, so I live with it. Sinew backed,54" ntn, two inches of reflex, 50#@27", Purple Heart and black wood overlays. On a side note this is my first snake skin.

Nice work Newindian.  You got it goin-on!  We need to meet up and work on bows together.  Looks like you could teach me a thing or two.

Good looking bow. What dont you like about the tiller? Those curves look to be doing a good bit of work and still maintaining their shape when unbraced. I would have been scared to let them bend so much. Have you shot it a bunch? I am only asking because I like this bow alot and would defintely give it a go myself.

Rod3 I think the upper mid limb should bend a little more and it's probably had something like 1500+ shots

Great bow, I like the bend, it's certainly not an everyday profile.
