Swervey - Curvey Finished Up
« on: November 08, 2025, 09:40:48 pm »
This one had a lot character in both directions - side to side and roller coaster. 
It's the first time I've tillered one like this, its pretty tricky seeing the bend through all the noise.
It's definitely not perfect, but i'm pretty happy with it.  67" NTN, 48.5# @ 28", added walnut to build out the handle.

Oh man, I would have ZERO hesitation carrying that bad boy into the woods! Nice finish, nice bend, great challenge, and fantastic execution! You know... the November BOM contest is opened up now for entries ;)

It’s always tough seeing and achieving a good tiller on those type of staves. It looks to me like you did a great job on both. Tiller looks great and full draw looks spot on. Love it.

Thanks guys.
It actually shoots real nice too - I was stacking them in my back yard target pretty decent.

Ain't that crazy? You can build a bow and for some reason, it just shoots better than any other bow. Sometimes, a bow just fits you good.
