you really have a style of your own: your bows have no fancy but look FANTASTIC any way; with that 'certain something' i would say.

that is a fantasic looking tiller most of all!!!

like it very much!

Post by: TRACY on October 31, 2008, 10:31:33 am: Looks great! At 70#, I bet it really spits an arrow out right now. Really like the "natural" look, I'm a fan of simple and effective.

Post by: Okie on October 31, 2008, 12:06:43 pm: Another great looking bow. Your tiller looks spot on.
How long has the back been finished on that one? Looks like it has already started turning darker.

Post by: Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive on October 31, 2008, 01:55:28 pm: thanks a lot for the kind words guys.

OKIE- the back already has the darker wood color b\c its over a year old stave and the sapwppd was taken off and finished well before curing began so i prefer to leave it dark if possible and this one was a good candidate for it.-

Post by: Okie on October 31, 2008, 05:07:06 pm: Twisted, I've got one just like it that was in my attic for 10 years before I finally decided to finish the tillering. I think they look great like that.
