Sweeeet bow, Adam. Great looking overall, excellent artwork, too. Man, that string angle looks scary at full draw with those pin nocks!  :o

The tiller just makes me sigh, oh so sweet arc. Very nice work all around.

I have found that I really like that style of wrapped handle, but I have been making them by starting at the bottom and wrapping up and counter clockwise. This puts the overlap edges facing down and angles the same way as my fingers (left bow hand for right handed draw) lay on the handle, that is angling down towards my finger tips on the back of the bow.

this bow is one of the nicest I've seen on this board. a beautiful simple desing and a great tiller. the paint job is also lovely. the contrast with yellow osage is very neat. :P
