I just got an ash flat bow roughed out.  Hope no chrysals on this one  :(.  The last three got em but they were locust.  I've got a good feeling about this one.  Should have it tillered soon.  Braced by this weekend at least.

Finished her up today!  1 1/4" wide at the handle, 65" ntn. White oak+Hickory with mildly flipped tips.  43@28.  5/8" of fresh unbraced set. 
My recipient likes bendy handles and shooting off the hand - I threw in a floppy rest that he could always cut off if he doesn't like it.   
I went through a mulberry sapling which chrysaled on me and an elm stave that popped a splinter in tension (?elm? tension? failure?), so I decided to do a lam bow. I hope he likes it.   
Bubby - I don't know if we have Wally World in Canada, but to all the Canadians, Rona carries cork tiles. 4 12"x12" for $15.  I don't know if that's a good price or not, but I do know I like using cork to build up handles way more than thick leather. 
Anyways, here's the pics.

You got the tiller nailed pretty tight to the floor on that one, bubbles!

Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Great bend on that for sure bubbles, the wood contrast sure is pretty and it looks as smooth as silk to shoot.
