You are a great craftsman, for sure. I gadda point out though, something looks off on that second bows tiller. Is the lower limb shorter by an inch? Lower limb seems to bend a bit more than the upper?

I don't know about that great craftsman thing,  . Maybe I am a great crapsman, because I am great at making crappy bows.  Kinda looks like it maybe about the tiller though, probably is. May be the angle of the photo though, or that I nocked my arrow at an upward angle. The limbs are the same length. The bow has about 1/4" positive tiller, so I would not think the bottom limb would bend more. Either way, it pulls balanced and shoots straight, so I am happy with it.

Shut up and take the compliment, knothead!  Your craftsmanship is enviable.  Those are some very lovely bows that undoubtably would perform admirably.

I love the way you take advantage of hackberry's ability to sand down to a supersmooth finish, the glossy finish makes them look superclean!  The tip overlays really put the icing on the cake. 

Anyone with a lick of horse sense would be proud to carry one of these bows, tmk.  Thanks for sharing with us.

No problem,  thanks for taking a peak at some of my bows,  . I am actually working on a group of five, so there are 3 more on their way as well. Hopefully anyway, I don't wanna jinx myself or anything now,  . I kinda decided I would just keep all the hackberry's I am making in the same thread, instead of making different threads for a bunch of basically the same bow.
