Nice tiller Bob.  Unbacked ipe?

JD

I'd be much obliged to see a close up of your narrowed handle bow if you are able.  I'm making a boo backed bulletwood for the ABC thing.  Curious to see how much width taper, and how it's layed out.  Got my own idea, and wonder how it stacks up to a working model.

Nice looking bow bob, I haven't built a D bow yet but I love the graceful curves of them.
JD sorry to hear she blew, Thats why I refer to bows as she or her, ya never no when thier going to
go off on ya.

Dana,

That's Ryan's bow that blew.  Credit where it's due! ;D  Not that I haven't had by share of blow-ups.


DCM,

The bow tapers from 1 1/2" at the fades to about 1" at the handle.  The depth of the handle was controled by tiller.

Beautiful work JD.  That's about what I have done, but with bullet wood I don't think I'm gonna get it to work into the handle itself, but will work the fades.  Thanks.

Bob your doing good,just make sure you point the camera the right way.The bushes behind you were nice and green though.
 That bow looks dangerous to Bob,better send it my way..I wouldn't want you to get hurt.
