The sun and self-timer are not cooperating for drawn pics.

I'm not happy with this drawn pic. (Self-timer + 100# draw) but perhaps it gives an idea of this bows coming potential.




Here it it now unbraced.

Thanks a million Jawge! It's still a work in progress. I see the upper limb needing some light scrapeing still.

Nice Thimo!  It wasn't until I saw that first tiller photo until I realized how massive that bow is.  You could take it from Andaman Island to hunt the stone heads on Easter Island!   ;D

Thanks Adam!

Well thanks to your Madoc bow, I've been out in the workshop since 4:30 working on some tribal decor.

Elm Holmegaard, is it? Very nice and bookmarked as a serious contender for August Self Bow of the Month.
