Well, its been done for quite some time now, and long gone, traded away, but here is the final result. Sorry for the excessive pics, but rather than sort through them all to find the best pretty ones, I am showing all the images I took to evaluate the tiller. In the middle of all these pics is a snakeskin backed black locust bow that came out real sweet also. I will make another post for that bow at a later time...

Thanks Del, and dont worry about the wolf, she and I are good friends :) . Thank You BuckeyeGuy for the ebony you sent me for the handle. I was very worried I would mess it up, but it came out fitting the hand and bow perfectly. I even have enough left over to make 2 more handles and some tip overlays and arrow nocks. Thank you very much again!

I appreciate the compliments on the bow everybody, I was actually kinda sad to see that bow go. But the guy I traded it to was in love with it at first sight, and had only shot compounds before so it went for a worthy cause. And I got a nice Mosberg 835 12 gauge in return.
