I love seeing folks successfully pull off a character stave.  Job well done and great craftsmanship to boot.

Great looking bow from some squirrelly wood. Reminds me so much of the bows Keenan use to make and post on here years ago. Really nice work.

You did that stave justice! If you asked for help with that tiller I'm not sure you would get two of the same answers from 20 people. Good work!

Looks good. I bet it was hard to tiller.

thanks alot guys! it was a fun and challenging bow to build.

chuck- yes, its tough to make tiller choices on such a stave, really gotta use finger calipers and just see how it pulls and shoots.

billinthedesert - can't wait for the pinks this year! would probably need 7 or 8 to back a bow though!
