Dylan, that is a great looking bend.  I haven't tried a bendy handle yet, but it looks sweet

Dakota, both look great, a lot of talent in that art.

Ty, I am liking your build and the explanations/photos.  I've been thinking about building a similar jig to start trying some laminated bows, but haven't yet pulled the trigger.  Looking great!

Everyone's bows are looking really awesome!

Dakota, love the bows. I already know first hand of your artwork from the arrows you sent me. I imagine the pics don't do those bows justice.

Dylan, that ELB's looking pretty sharp.  I can't wait to see how you finish her up!

Dakota, the ash bow is exquisite!  I love what you did to the belly.  The unstrung profile is also quite nice.  If that is the bow you send out, the recipient will be happy.

The HHB bow does look nice, too.  The work you did on the levers is great!

However, someone needs to have a serious chat with you.  Socks and sandals...  O:)

Ty!!! I dont wanna hear anymore snide remarks about socks and sandles!!!  Once in awhile i catch myself in socks and sandles while working on a bow....the socks snag all the shaving and drag them into the house which =  one unhaply gf!!

Guys...i am having serious trouble with imgur...may have to find another way to upload photos...but..i think i go this bos where i want it.  We have all guven each other advice on tiller...some listen...some dont (thats me)...but im really glad i went back and reworked this bow.  I ended up bringing the top limb back some more and the piking a half inch off the lower limb.  Im just shy of my intended draw weight so a little belly tempering should get me there!!

I will continue to work on pics...

Here she is fellas....like Fred said no such thing as a perfect bow but if ya see some more room for improvement speak up.  Thanks for all the quick gestures to help with the pictures.  I used the computer instead of my phone.

Nice bend ajooter!! He'll appreciate all of the extra time and work you put in to make that one. You already have it dolled up the last I saw so I'd get it shipped  >:D

Aaron, how long is your draw now that you've been shooting for awhile?

Looks good Otter.  I think the top limb looks stiff over the upper 2/3rds of that limb.  The bottom limb might be a hair behind the upper.

Im probably splitting hairs tho  8)
