 Awesome bow Nate, tiller looks great to  me... I too am having trouble tillering the R/D profile.  I don't think mine is gonna look this good.  Great work man!   :)

That's way too nice! I've been pondering whether Ash would be able to stand up as a backing on a R/D Ipe, I suppose it's as close to Hickory as you can get so in this case it would lol.

Congratulations on a beautiful bow, now on to the next one :P

Heck yeah NTD, scrutiny is good. That is why I post bows, for that scrutiny. I am no master by any means so the input positive or negative is welcomed, in the hopes of one day mastering the craft. To my unseasoned eyes however; that appears to be a fine bow, and it sure looks sweet.

Thanks ScottD, Josh, Muina and Lombard.

Josh, It sure is tricky, this is my 5th r/d attempt.  I was happy with my BBO r/d but bamboo failure ended that one :'(  I'm just lucky that I get a lot of snakes skins to trade for this stuff, or else those mess ups would have gotten awful expensive ;D

Excellent and a serious contender for May Laminate BOM, too.
