Looks like that's gonna be a nice one. I used to cuss my hair too until it started disappearing, now I'd be glad to have a bad hair day. ;D

Thanks, bambule, Christophero and John. She shoots pretty well but needed some handle modifications to get her tuned  up. Jawge

hey George, I do have a question on your tiller.  I can see it bending fast right out of the fade, but seems stiffer than I imagined rest of the limb.  I know you know what your doing, but wondered if that is diliberate.

Hey, George,
A super bow, as usual. But your hair!! Looks like you were driving around with your head out the window! But, I agree... it's good to still be able to have a bad hair day!

 Nice bow, Jawge, great tiller! Gotta love that Osage. Bad hair day? at least you have some. ;D

Big, I like the elliptical tiller. The stiffer tips make for a smoother draw with less stack. I forgot to mention that the bow has a bit of a natural reflex in the last 10 inches of each limb. Also, that upper limb has 2 small knots which I left stiff. Anyway, that's why I did what I did. LOL, adb. Glad you like the bow. The hair is real too. Mullet, glad you like the bow and the hair, my friend. Thanks, Timo, and thanks again for the stave. Jawge
