Sweet dye job, nice looking tiller as well.

Real nice.  Does this bend in the handle at all?  Or just to the handle?

First of all, Gorgeous bow and Gorgeous work! I love the bow, very nice tiller as well. Secondly, you say it is a reflex deflex. Did you glue in reflex in glue up and it tillered out at fulldraw, as I don't see any reflex in it at fulldraw or brace? At least I was wonderin... Either way it's a killer bow!!! The dye job is cooler than hell too.  ;D
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
