I like it.  Interesting choice of wood.  Tiller looks great. Good job!

As requested here are a couple of more pics. It was the first time I used Jarrah for bow wood so I did not want to go too heavy. The bow is is 40# at 28" and 68" ntn.

I`m sure you could make an arrah  ;) It makes good footings and the red-purple color looks good in combo with a light colored shaft.
