BRAVO!!!!!!!  Simply amazing.  The 36" length and 23" draw show that your bow is the height of the art of bow making. Incredible finish all I can say again is AMAZING.

Everything about this bow is beautiful. The tiller is perfect for such a small piece of wood, but demonstrates how the first people utilized many materials working together to obtain optimal performance.

Thank you for your nice compliments, Parnell, Legionnaire, Cipriano and Chuck!  It was a lot of fun to make.  Also too, a great lesson in patience.  I'm building some reinforced horn self nocked, obsidian point arrows as we speak.  Gonna just have to try taking some game this season with her.
