thanks gentlemen!  -  i am pleased with the tiller on this bow, too - nice to see the action in the limbs when drawing it on the tillerwall!
please considder the pics #7 + 8 not to be vertical: the upper limb on the right DOES bend more then the lower.

Ahh! I wonder where that third "sister" went.  Very nice. Hickory backed Black Walnut if I recall. Got it bookmarked under July Backed Bows.

thanks everybody! - right now i'm working on the finish of that bow and she's really going to be a beauty, i'll post some pictures later.
some of you guys warned me to be carefull with black walnut fretting easily; thanks for that, it made go be very carfull! - i can say i'm pleased with the results of all three bows, no frets at all! well, they are all 35#-only but also only 62" ntn for a 26" pull, and all shooters have been surprised with the bows so far. i guess the key is to make the hickory-backing very thin and tapered and - of course - go slow!

Gorgeous color combos on those overlays and handles, Frank. You should be real proud of them. I to have had pretty good luck with Black walnut as a belly wood.
