Thanks to all of you fellas. That piece of wood has been on my mind for some time and I just had to release her into what she is supposed to be. I suppose I could have thinned the tips and reflexed it to gain a few more fps. Oh and I'm sure the front profile doesn't match the tiller. I'll try harder next time............ ;D

I love it Jon.  I like short heavy bows, and you nailed that one.  It seems too easy to make the limbs overly wide on such a bow, but you sure didn't do that.  Looks to be about as efficient a bow as could be. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Nothing corny about that bow! I love it!

As for the handle... I'm not sure it needs it. Dead nuts tiller! Good job, on that little piece a hedge!

I just finished a shorty that I am a little disappointed in, seeing yours makes me even more disappointed. Very nice.

Love that style, and you pulled off heavy draw weight with no set.  Excellent work!
