This is a wonderful weapon and made by a bowyer that has received kudos on this site before. Bookmarked, too, for Dec Self BOM

Very nice Pete. As everyone has mentioned, the tiller is exceptional. Course most, if not all, of yours are. That is one "long"bow.

 Pete, you are really turning out top notch bows.  The resting profile and full draw, show just how well you nailed the tiller, and the dye job by the handle is beautiful. Congratulations on a very impressive bow.

That's a mighty fine looking bow. Great tiller, nice detail and finish work, and I like that design. Looks like a keeper for sure.

That is a beautiful.  I really like the finish - it makes it look like it belongs out in the field.  That's the type I like the best.  I bet it is a sweet shooter - I had a 45lb. bamboo/osage that I borrowed for awhile with that length.  It was smooth, to say the least.  I was surprised with it - once strung, it didn't realy feel much longer than a 67" bow. 

Great job!
