Ugly????  Never.  There is no such thing as a well tillered ugly bow.  The only ugly bow is one that the tiller stinks on.  That bow is eat up with character.  I really like it.

Nice tiller!!  Like every one else has said... No such thing as an ugly, well-tillered bow.  That is a thing of beauty!

Cool little bow. Do you ever sleep? Ronnie

Ronnie, when you get over 60 the term " we are burning daylight" has new meaning. But really I have been a maker my whole life and whatever I made I made a lot of. Keeps me engauged.

this is what primitive archery is all about.  take a piece of wood and turn it into a thing of beauty.  i'm particularly impressed with the two knots, you're more daring than i am  ;D

 :o At the draw length and weight it should do fine . Love them cave man type repeater  sticks. I make them my self but I go for more # draw weight and the design will not handle much over say 45# with such a high crowned back ,now I apply deer raw hide to the backs before I do any big bending and only lost one to the backs pulling apart at the crown peaks  but i thing it was stressed before I applied the backing now I back before I bend a  high # stick bow.
