Agreed, the tiller looks nice.  What kind of unbraced profile are you hiding with this one?

Man that's a solid bow....The unbraced profile just brings it all together.  Great job.

Not sure how I missed this one. Fantastic selfbow Mark! Not too often you see a quad-lam and a selfbow from the same member at the same time. I'm inspired. Thanks!  :OK
