Hi Jorad,

That bow looks awesome, I am building bows since you taught me how to build a board bow (I am a member of Frederik Hendrik, Delft)
Currently busy on a flatbow and a laburnum takedown longbow.

I might have to start another one, just to copy yours ;-)

Greetings Stefan

I am honored to be given credit for such a great bow Stefan, but the credit belong to Jorik :)

Good job dude, I am impressed and can't wait to send some arrows through her.

Wow! What a bow, the handle is really amazing. How you ever dreamed something like that up is beyond me. Let us know when you are willing to give the secret up!

That bow shows a lot of dedication to the details - especially the handsection, as many has allready pointed out.
The tiller looks very good to my eyes and by your description of its performance I sure wouldn't change anything either.
Those are really nice and slender tips - seems like I'll have to do that too to get more speed in my bows in the future - just been a bit nervous they would break :-D

That bow is beautiful. Outstanding work. The riser is truly a work of art. I know you're proud of it and you should be.
