that's pretty ;)
is it just me or is the bottom limb a bit shorter?
(john strunk influence?)

yes, bottom limb is 2" shorter

Lovely bow!
Has it had two different handles?? ;)

no, always the same handle on that bow. Perhaps you have this bow

in mind

nice tips! never seen that, like some stylized mini-siyahs. what's it with the horn insert? to prevent the bend from pulling out or for nice looks?
sweet tiller as well. You've been posting some real nice bows lately.

the horn wedge and the glue lines stiffens up the lever, so you need less wood = less mass
Absolutely beautiful bow!! I love those tips. Would you be willing to do a build along on how you do your tips?

yeah, will show a buildalong on one of the next bows




Thank you all for your nice compliments
