Beautiful lines!  I really like the front and side profiles.  And yes, that tiller is definitely spot-on!  Thanks for sharing.  :)

Nice looking lines..... 

Ill be interested to see how the handle holds up. I have heard horror stories about the fit getting sloppy when you don't have a sleeve on both sides of the joint.

thanks!

yes, it's difficult to make the perfect joint, I glued a small piece of hard leather to the wood to be reinforced to stay fixed in the barrel

problem is that no moving sideways ...
The bow does not move in the direction of the target .... is rigid because bowstring is in tension....

Real nice, are you sure you couldn't get those tips any slimmer? ::)
V nice.
Is there any positive location in the socket (is it eliptical?) to line up the two limbs or is it just "line 'em up by eye and press them home?"
