Thanks fellers :). I forgot to mention in that one pic of me holding the bow to the side, the bottom limb looks like it's about broke over or hinged - that was a whooptedo in the tree. Kinda gave me fits during tillering. Haven't tackled your hic yet Ronnie - but it's calling me ;D.

nice job man. I actually think that that kinda tiller suits a whitewood bow better. If you would have the fades bending more you would end up with unwanted set on those areas.

That's a really nice bow Paul! The finish looks great. What do you have on the back of the bow or is that just the dye?

Holy Hickory! ;D  This bow sure woke me up this a.m. Nice Job - and bookmarked, of course. I also bookmarked the picture of the tip - quite the craftsmanship.

Very nice Cowboy. I agree with everyone else... you're to hard on yourself.

Well I dissagree with everyone. I think the bow looks terrible and just to show what a good guy I am I will dispose of it for you before you make the guy mad...lol Seriously though Paul shes a beauty. We are always in search of the perfect tiller are'nt we.  Nice dye job too by the way.  I haven't made too many bows yet but it looks like our styles may be the same at least on that one. Yours look a little better I think. Danny

Beautiful dye job. you guys keep giving me more ideas, now if I could just figure out how to download the pics of my bow I could finally show them to you.

I appreciate it fellers :). that's another dye dob job Alan, no backing. Scott, that's somebody else's place in town - side of his shop. Thanks Don!
 Danny, I'll put it in the mail soon - uhh, maybe not - I'd have to tangle with JR first, he's a purty big fella ::).
Figure it out Robb - we'd love to see your good works.
