Dana - What a beauty,  That is a wicked piece of wood to make such a nice bow out of.  Tiller looks great.  You did an awesome job on that one.  I guess that's it for green ground until June. ;D

Now who has a straight piece to trade

That's funny Dana  ;D.

The bow turned out really nice. Is it bending through the handle? How wide did you make the limbs?

Gordon its 1.25" wide and yes its bending thru the handle, I'm really impressed with VM its extremely tough and forgiving
By straight I mean one that the tips are almost lined up :P, had a heck of a time getting this one to line up. Ya know if VM
took heat like osage no one would bother with that orange stuff :o

DanaM, nice bow.  You've been a busy bee lately.  Just saw your arrows a few minutesago.  Can'tbelieve you're standing in snow.

Dana,

I've had really good luck steam bending vine maple, but you can hardly get it to move using dry heat. If vm didn't have so may grain swirls that make for miserable scrapping I might put it up there with osage.

I think it looks great.  I like the unbraced profile, the dye job and the tiller.
