That really looks good.  The tiller is perfect.

Thanks Pearly, Bushboy and Grady.  I just did 12 scrapes down both limbs.  It's drawing 55 @ almost 24 now.  Just a little bit to go.  :)
I needed to break for lunch.  Don't want to rush these last few inched because I'm hungry and jittery.  ;)

We are exactly half way shipped all. 38 so far.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Looks like some sweet bows coming in the home stretch...trying to get some other things completed so that I can get mine done in time.  It is shaping up pretty nice right now, should get to brace tonight. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

55# @ 25.  I think I'm going to go shoot it.  Then do the final tweaking. 1 more inch to go.

When I came home today there was a long tube waiting for me..............I said WOW when I saw who it came from.  Keenan made a awesome bow for me.  Will post pics when I can get some taken.  I am speechless, it is beautiful to say the least.
Happy hunting to all!

Thanks DBar and JL.  Clint it looks very similar to your short osage.  I was using your shortie as a reference  ;)  Seriously, I did look back at your bow a couple of time. 

I put about 50 arrows through her this afternoon.  It might be the most accurate bow I've made, or it just fits me well.  It slings an arrow with some authority, also.  I need another inch draw out of her.  I think she's got it in her.  And she'll be ready for boot camp.
