Really nice, you sure have a good eye for tiller! Would love to get my hands on a piece of hophornbeam

Agreed, the tiller looks nice.  What kind of unbraced profile are you hiding with this one?

Thank you! Here is un braced.

Not sure how I missed this one. Fantastic selfbow Mark! Not too often you see a quad-lam and a selfbow from the same member at the same time. I'm inspired. Thanks!  :OK

Very nice bend Mark. I love the smell of toasted HHB in the morning.
It's a fine bow wood.
