I think you did an amazing job on that all around. Wonderful profile and artwork is amazing. I could be wrong but I think your tiller is spot on for your unbraced profile.  As for having fun, who doesnt enjoy being just a little goofy?

Love it, the hobbit rules, and you've done a great job with the lines on that bow, as well as the paint job!  I think that big X bow was what they fired at the dragon though right?  (I haven't seen the new one no spoilers!)  Now I'd like to see someone build one of those! Great work man

Beautiful work with the paints and basswood.  That is one pretty fantasy bow!
Yeah, I remember when we had a President who didn't wear a tinfoil hat.

Thanks again for all your compliments and encouragement. I do enjoy a challenge, and making bows and arrows is a great way for me to express the creative side, which so many of you here on this site seem to have too. Now that I'm retired I have more time to bring to life some of the ideas I used to only dream about. Life is great !

That's a lot of work right there, good job Steve.
