Excellent craftsmanship all round. Your photos are always top notch as well. Do you have any plans on doing an in depth tutorial on building a strunk style handle wrap? I tried my hand at it, but I'm just not sure where the lacing should start and end. You have 'em down to an art! Again, museum quality work!

Once again, Mr. Gordon....top notch! Even your photo presentation is artistic! I really loved the build a long. For those viewers who don't, or haven't taken and posted many photos and added commentary, it is a very time consuming process. We sure hope you and the others, here at PA, that take that extra time, know how much we all appreciate it.

Gordon, another work of art. Your tiller is always perfection - I just stare at the full draw picture.

Sorry to hear it was broken by the new owner. My experience is that osage will take a set if overdrawn, but yew will break. What part gave way when it broke? I save broken bows for learning what the potential weak areas, flaws or design can teach me.

Thank you Shaun.

To be clear, the bow that I built is not broken. In fact I was shooting it this morning and am quite pleased with its performance. It was the bow that inspired my bow that was broken. That bow appeared to have fractured at the belly.
