Thank you guys

Spliced Steve.  It could possibly be steam-bent but the possibility of introducing some sideways bend is daunting and a splice is safe.

I added some reflex in the limbs with wet-heat and the rest was glued in

Really nice bow that design is way ahead of my skill set but hopefully one day. I bet she a rocket ship.

Absolutely stunning, have you put it through a chrono yet? i'm betting high 170s at least.
Whatever you are, be a good one.

Thanks all

The tiller on this bow is good for the limb profile, a different profile would require a slightly different tiller.

I built this bow specifically for an article on the wood itself as it is excellent bow-wood that makes a lovely bow but it's not very well known.
