Thats friggin sweet.

That is cool but it looks out of tiller. Bear in mind I have never done one but y is the tiller that off?
-
Dang it, son! here we go again. ::) The key words here is "I've never done one". The tiller is not off, look at the positioning of the hand grip compared to the center of the bow. The bottom limb is now shorter and is shorter. At least you're asking questions ;).
Really nice looking bow and looks fast.

One limb is naturally deflexed

I took note of this bow back when Randman posted it on the Trade Bow thread. I thought that this was a great way of using Ocean Spray to get around the short straight sections. It makes a whole lot more OS staves useable. Randman, was there any particular problems with making a bow with the big swoop in the middle?
Thanks
Don

A properly tillered bow does not bring the limbs around into matching arcs. What a propper tiller does do is stress the same part of each limb equally. So allowing for each limb to have different front and side profiles, the tiller profile will also be diferent. When you can tiller a bow like that, thats when you have really mastered the craft.

@w/b 99 the bow is highly canted in the shot because that's how I shoot!
-
What sleek said.
that's an awesome bow.Well done Randman
-
That shape is just awesome! Way to use OS randman! I bet that things fun to shoot!
-
Ocean spray is pretty fun stuff, what an awesome way to use that big knotty bump in the middle!
-
Awesome bow...I love it:-). And judging by the unstrung and brace pictures the tiller is spot on.
We all love the uniqueness of selfbows, but there is something special about that bow. Its one of those wood species I will never have the privilege to work...I can understand why you are psyked:-)
cheers

I believe the title to your post says it all. > Dan

That is one cool looking bow, and your praises on how it shoots tell the tale.
-
Wow! That is an exceptional piece of work! Brilliant tiller! Congrats Bushboy! Josh
-
One more ultra cool aspect od the bow that I neglected to mention is that he made it a center shot.:)!
