FINALLY! (PICS ADDED!!!!!)

After many attmepts and becoming discouraged to the point of quitting....
I have FINALLY done it!
Today I finished tillering a bow.....55# at my peewee draw of 24"!
It has 1 3/8 string follow....but it flat out fires an arrow!
I made it out of hickory backed ipe....it also has a thin red oak lamination in the hande area.
It is super super light!
I did learn a lesson though.....
I put a short string on it too quick.....hence the string follow! Next time...I will spend an extra bit of time floor and long string tillering!
