Finished the bow for my good buddy and all-around cool guy, Matt! He works at a working forge that's part of a history museum, and a while back we agreed to a trade: I make him a bow, and he makes me a knife, machete, or hatchet (dealer's choice, still remains to be seen what it'll be).
The tiller wound up looking a little weird at brace-height, with the upper limb looking all stiff, but it actually looks pretty good at full draw, and it shoots really smoothly, so I'm not too worried about it.
The specs:
56" ntn
40# @ 28" (I think, I'm just estimating)
black locust w/maple backing
mahogany riser and tip overlays
