Nice job on a shorter bow. I like the way the dyed linen turned out.

Thanks for your comments   :)
I wasn't sure about the tiller either, but then I made an "sandwitch" putting a photo from my bow and the picture for the ideal elliptical tiller (from Steve Gardner, red in the picture) in the TBB4 together and I thought "OK, its near enough". The bow is a little bit whip-tillered but he shoots very well without any noticeable handshock, so I decided to leave the bow this way.

… Does the bow have a built up riser?
The handle is glued

i'm always careful to get the inner limbs bending more, without bending too much.  i wonder how that bow would look in the hand if you flipped it over and then drew it full?  it seems the lower limb is very highly stressed.
