Nice! Is it the same bow in the full draw picture? Cuz it looks like the bow at full draw has white nocks?

Very nice bow and the tiller is excellent.  It does look like it has taken a bit of set around mid limb top and bottom with the center as being fairly straight.  Did the bow start off straight or with uniform reflex?

Ah ok, i understand. Here you can see the original/unbended/raw Stave:



So you can compare the raw stave with the unstrung bow.



But the pictures are reversed. The lower limb is in picture no.1 on the right side, on the unstrung bow on the left.

Very nice bow, don't see many staves that clean.
Bigger pics would be good.

yes, but the attachement option is really minimalist.  ???
