thanks guys the profile was pretty much the shape of the branch I used.it kinda reflexed off the handle area I had to flip the tips a little to bring it back from following the string too much.also the branch was only about 1 1/4" thick for most of its length.

Nice work on a "skinny" piece of wood !! What method did you use for flipping the tips ?? I'm assuming dry heat?? How's the performance ??

NICE!  full draw pic shows what to my eye is great tiller.
i got an ash limb i rescued from a tree trimming guy last summer that's been drying in my garage since.  once a month i look it over then say, "nah, man this thing is too small a diameter.  never work".
seeing your great work inspires me to go C clamp that bad boy to my bench and get to work! THANK YOU
