I like that one. It's always hard for me to stop at simple, but I always admire when someone else does. Tiller is perfect!

Nice tiller and seems like a good bow for hunting in the brush. I also like how you utilized that curve in the wood and made it closer to center shot.  :)

Well done - I like the simple bows - especially when they are tillered like that one!
Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch

Nice bend in that simple stick.  Looks pretty too.
"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

Kinda like better than two in the bush, I'd say!

Speaking of which, a little birdy told me this bow is a quick little shooter.




Go back and look at the last pic Soybeans posted of the detail with the string in it.  Those colors are the three colors you find on a kestrel.  Kestrels are small, light, lightening fast, and good little predators in close quarters. 

I am deeply honored to receive this bow.  I really look forward to being able to carry it in the woods where it will be a swift predator.
