Wow, how in the world does moisture get thru the sealer? He will keep it out of the weather. Pappy I will be down,  Maybe today and tomorrow. If martin gets off base I will give it to him this weekend as well.

Good job Ron! The reflex you introduced to the outer limbs might account for some of the look of stiffness at full draw in the outer limbs.

I'm with Pappy, I'd put some more coats of truoil on and waxing afterwards can only help. ;)

Very nice hickory bow. Glad you prevailed over the knot. Got you bookmarked for Sept SelfBOM, too.

Thanks guys.  I'm finding out that the "best tillered shape" is not the same for everyone. Several experienced guys on the boards tiller a bit different. One day I will try building couple bows to the same specs but with one bending all the way out and the other with stiff outer limbs and compare them....Ron
