LOL, he was trying to change the subject to get me out of trouble.  Not sure it worked or not.  I'll quit hijacking. :-[

The tip with the knot along the side and the dog leg also has some reflex in it that makes it difficult to tiller. I decided to add reflex to both limbs. This is more reflex than the one tip had but at least now they are similar. Shood make for a sweet shooting bow.

...and now off the form. Looks pretty good. I will have to do a little alignment but not too much. I won't know for sure until first brace though.  Here she is now...

After she cooled a bit I wanted to see how the tiller is so far. I'm quite pleased with it!  ;D  This is about 8" of tip movement.

Pat that is looking great. Your going to mess around and force me to get off my duff and get working on the other half of that one. Looks so much like a twin that I am getting visions of this stave bending.  ::)

I just love those lines and that bend.  That's looking like it'll be a great bow.

I finally got her to low brace. She lines up pretty good. Might do a bit of alignment.





  And have taken her out to 23"(@50#)

Beautiful bow you have going.  I really like the lines of the side-view profile.

Ifrit, about 50#@28. That won't be a problem. I think I could make a 65# to70# bow from this stave.  ;D
