I'll try to get some more pics up tonight. I gave the bow to my friend today.He hasn't shot a bow for about 7-8 years , so I wasn't sure how he'd make out. Fist sized group at 18yds, right off the bat. I think I was more impressed than he was. He seems to be quite happy with it, and it fits him perfectly.
    RPS -I did get some unstrung pics before sending it off. I'll post tonight or tomorrow.
   Thanks for all the nice compliments guys. The greatest one was the smile on his face!

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

RPS - here's the profile pics. It took about  1-1/4 " of set. No heat treating after tiller and no reflex introduced . It likely would have taken less if I trapped the back. I roughed out another at the same time from the same board, so I'll try some different things to see if I can tweak it some. It was shooting about 155-160 on the chrono with a 26" draw and a 500 gr arrow, so I'm pretty pleased with performance.

Thanks Chris. I think I'm about due for a few  simple ones. My favourite ones are the nice straight forward ones like "druid" makes. I hope my trade bow recipient doesn't feel let down  if I give him something like that.

Ultra cool, the time it must have taken to do all the artwork, and the tillering!  That's a beaut, I'm sure the recipient of any bow with a tiller like that and shooting 155+ will be :)
