This is really an exceptional bow. Graceful tiller, beautifully finished, but not so refined that it looks modern - this bow still shows the tree it came from. Great work!

I never knew to judge the tiller of Mollie’s but this looks so good. 😍

Beautiful. I really like it. It's elegant in its simplicity but it shows all the work and design choices you put in it  :OK

Thank you for the nice words!!!I really love this bow - it just shots so simple... so glad you like her too.

It is finished with 180 grit sandpaper than one coat with resin wax turpentine mix, than a good rub with steelwool except rawhide , than some layers with tung oil and least another rub with steelwool to cut the shine.

Me either! I fact the levers aren't that dramatic as it could be done - but hard enough for me. Sometimes during tillering, I didn't know where to get more bend, mostly then I just worked at the fades or on the trapezoid's cross-section.
