Here are some details about this neat bow:
With the talk about 'D' bows I got inspired to post one that I built a few months back.  I originally tillered this little Oceanspray stave to 50# @ 27" and it took almost 2" of set--not that I blame it--so I threw it aside for a couple months.  I ended up laminating on a Yew belly and tillering it out for a birthday present for my wife Joy.
52" [?] nock to nock. / 7/8" wide (no narrowed handle section). /  3/8" tips with horn and Abalone overlays.
Leather over cork grip. / 35# @ 25".

Voters were especially impressed about the perfect "C" Tiller on this one.

"I love to look at a perfect C tillered bow  !!!!      " - NorthShoreLB
