worked a bit on bow #2 today; the brace looks odd on the pic, but tiller difference is around 1/4", upper limb is on the right.
lower limb bit stiff at 18" from fadeout hafl way up the limb, but doesn't look too bad in movement.
what ya all think??

Frank, She looks good to me. Those kicked up tips can make a good bit of differance with a bows performance.    Pat

tillered bow#2 to 26" , upper limb is on the right.

she was supposed to have a shaped handle with a shelf; so i did my first shaped handle with a shelf today  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
the wood  is wenge with a stripe of hickory in between. came out nice...
guys if you ever work with wenge get the respirater on!!! that wood probuces the finest and nastiest dust i've ever seen!
