....Now this bow was a real tillering nightmare, you'll see the top limb :o :o the bottom one has a twist right where the S is and that surely made things interesting, couldn'd do any reflexing because the bow would just pop of the form anytime I tryed so I just let it be, the bottom limb finished strait the top  (that had deflex) pretty much stayed

finished with a 50/50 mix of linseed oil and shellac wrapped handle of hemp, guava overlays

Holy Crap Manny!I can't believe somebody would post such a hideous bow! :o But,Wow,I sure do like it.That's cool.You need to make a tillering tree or make some friends so we can see some full draw pictures. ;)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Man! Just when I was thinking that the character bow I am making would stand a chance in BOM, you post this beauty. Maybe I should wait 'till next month to post the bow? ;)     It's amazing what you do with those curves, Manny. Wiatin' to see full draw.

I'm looking forward to the full draw pic to see how you handled that deflex in the upper limb. I know that had to be quite a challenge to tiller.

Should be an interesting June BOM...
