Nice bow, do the handle have a gap from the side(s) because of the pith?

Nice one, Hans.
I like the visible pith channel, and the unbraced profile.
Elder is really nice to work with and a good bow wood too.

Nothing special? I wouldn't say so.
Have tried to find some elder, but wasn't lucky so far. It grows a lot here but bowworthy is hard to find.
Also your tiller and the whole appearance is looking great.
Nice one!
