I thought I'd throw this other full draw photo in to give a better perspective of the tiller. I think my nock height is more appropriate on this shot, though maybe still a little high.

Think your right, it's still high gues about a 1/4 inch.....anyway it shows the tiller much better! good job! :)

I don't see how it could be better.  Has no set, no handshock, shoots good, and looks good.

Sweet looking bow! I like the handle wrap. I have been meaning to lace one up like that but just lacked the inspiration. Problem solved. Thanks. :laugh:

Wow! I don't know how I missed this one.  That's a fine piece of work to be sure!  The tips are certainly unique.  I have to ask, what is the significance of the bird?  Josh

Thanks, Dave!

Thank you, Josh. I was trying not to make a big deal about it here because it's not really what this site's about but I've started selling some bows using the name Swiftwood bows. The swift bird is kinda my logo/signature. I've got to figure out a better way to get them on my bows because that one took me at least an hour and involved a fair bit of foul language.

That's cool!  Just a thought, but you might consider having a little branding stamp made up.  Josh

Yeah, Josh. I did a little research into custom brands. They seemed to start around $100 which I'm sure is reasonable for the work that's put into them but not really in my budget right now. Though if i start adding up all the time I take drawing those damn birds on there I'll probably get to $100 pretty quick.  :o

Old Timber Bows, thanks for the compliment!
