Yes, very nice!
Maybe should bend bit more from midlimb towards the tips...!?

Very Nice...I love D-Bows....but I agree with Frank...could use a little more Bend...the Center seems to be doing a lot of Work..and the ends of boths limbs are along for the Ride...JMO

Nice looking bow and I like that tiller with slightly stiff tips, especially with a short draw :)

I like the bow..great job and the arrows too. Are those two fletch? Very nice.I'm working on the finshing touches on a cherokee d bow and I think I'm gonna make some cane arrows for it. I made mine with slightly stiff tips also because I was worried about finger pinch.

Frank, Mike, after shooting a little I think I agree with you on bending more mid to outer limb. As I was tillering I thought it looked good but as you draw it back you can really feel the center doing a lot of work. Good eye guys and I will use your suggestion, that's why I post stuff on here. Just trying to learn! Have a ways to go yet.
God bless

Just go Slow Mark...wont take much to get them working more...good luck and post pictures...

and Straightarrow ....as for Finger Pinch...I have never come across a case of Finger Pinch from a Bow bending too much at the Tips...it's always been caused by too short a Bow for a Long Length of Draw ...this is going to pinch your fingers

Ok here it is now finished.
first off I retillered it a bit to get the mid limb to tip moving a bit more, wanted it to look more authentic so I dyed this walnut to look like osage. then I painted a little design on the back (how authentic that is I don't know). Made an artificial sinew string and added a jute wrap handle.
