Very nicely done Tim, I like the staves that fight back, makes it that much more meaningful when you find the bow within the wood :)

Nice looking bow Timo.  I could tell one of your bows just by looking at it, you have a very unique style.... 8)

Hey Timo, do you think one could do the same with catfish skins? Of course, there wouldn't be any pattern though. But would it work ya think?

Pretty bow. I like the tips. For what it's worth coming from a guy who's still a little green, that looks like near perfect tiller.
Just remember, you can't put the wood back on.

Plumb humdinger and top draw on every count.  Don't know if it's yer style (compared to the other amazing work shown here and elsewhere) by you seem to raise the bar (for me) every time you post.

I'm gonna send a boy (Shamus, Jonathon as had several articles in PA) a link to your picture for his blog if it's ok.  He was asking me about D bow and round tiller recently and I din have a good example, least not as good as yours.  Even looked for yours and couldn't find one.  Hollar back if it's ok.

Plumb humdinger boy.
