Looks pretty good for your first bow, tiller looks near perfect, well done. If you want some constructive criitcism though it would have taken less set if had been longer, I think oak calls for nearer 68".

Congrats Boots, VERY good start, welcome to bowyers annonymous!
As Dragon says, bit longer next time and less bend in the handle will cause less set.

great bow! I'm also thinking a little less bend in the handle and you will be fine.

Nothing like putting an arrow through your first bow.  ;D  Very nice work, tiller looks right on.  Good job, you should be proud.

Way to go, Boots!  Way better than my first!  Did you make your own arrow yet?  I think thats equally as fun.  And then, there's knapping!  Congratulations, hope to see more from you.
