Love the hole.  had to make for some tough work shaping and tillering.  I enjoy looking at the catskins, make for a beautiful bow.

Don't know why you are carping about the tiller, looks just fine.  (Hehehe, I got a lot more fishy puns perched on the tip of my tongue but will spare you)

Sweet looking bow, would be poetic to go shooting fish with that bow!  Nice work on those tips.

Thank you all very much for all the nice compliments, the Flathead weighed 52 lbs got enough skins for two bows out of it.

Bold move recurving a squirrelly piece of wood like that. I dig it.

Excellent bow! I always wondered about catfish skins, striped bass, black bass, and other thangs :)..
