This is my first attempt at incorporating a shelf into a selfbow handle. Its still a little rough, but it ought to be pretty when she is all sanded and sealed.
This piece of wood has a bend in the bottom limb that makes the string track left center of the handle. I have not shot it but a few times, but I think its going to be close to centershot. In fact, it may be a tad beyond centershot. I have heat bended the limb twice and got it to where its at now. If it shoots good, I am going to call it finished.
The tiller on this one was tough, several knots, a twist and that crazy bent bottom limb. I don't have pics now, but soon will get them and post. 60" NTN ... probaby mid-50's at 28" I haven't shot her in yet, or rounded the limbs.
