That bow turned out really well. The tiller looks right on for a D-bow.

Now thats a sweet bow Pete, The tiller is perfect and with the little character kink that shows some real talent as a bowyer. Great relaxed profile and style for the bow is what I have come to prefer as a hunting bow.  Congratulations     Keenan
