That is a great tiller! It will be fine in the summer. Just leave it in AC when not shooting it. Jawge

Thank you Will H, falcon, osage outlaw, Matt, you ever try hickory? I have lots if you need a stave. GB, it is 1 5/8 at the widest, springbuck, arrowind, peacebow, jawge, and Danz Bar. It is black leather dye and provincial stain. Much appreciated.

Beautiful bends! How does that handle feel in your hand? I'm fine with any handle, but I had a customer tell me he wants a thick handle in a bendy-handled bow. I'll build it up with leather.
What's your humidity throughout summer?

Awesome job !!! You know you've done good when a hickory bow has no string follow.

Thanks chadwick, the handle feels just right to me, and I don't know the humidity range exactly, but it gets pretty sticky, and I don't have central air. Thanks Badly Bent, Chris, Drewster, Joe123able, Carson, and adams89.

That looks great!  I agree with Jawge on the air conditioning.  I live in a place with sweltering heat and humidity in the summertime and my hickory bows hold up fine as long as I don't do something stupid and leave them in the truck all day.   That one ought to make meat next season.
