redo on an old favorite

One of my first BBO's is still my favorite. I have had to modify it twice. But that is all right, because it is still one of the fastest bows I have ever built. It is a rather extremed reflex-deflex. I had one limb that was too weak and I added a belly lam of osage and re-tillered it. Then, the rosewood handle began to come loose not too long ago, and I decided to put some osage overlays on the handle and sort of sandwich it in. It worked great: I re-tillered the old girl and she is faster than ever.

Some bows you just can't let die! I have one that I named "Trouble Maker (handle with care)" that shoots very well.
Your redo worked, Dan. She's a real beauty.

I can see why you like that bow. It is a looker. Also looks like it can spit an arrow pretty well.

Thanks, everyone. OldBow, I think that I submitted it once years ago. I would rather not. Other bows are much more deserving, I think. I appreciate the thought, though. I will submit a full draw picture, though, so you can see it.
