Another beautiful piece of artwork Chuck, is it tillered to be a little stiff on the bottom or looser on the top?  Love the quill work!  :o

No compromises in your work.  I love the level of accuracy you achieve in your replicas. 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

WOW!
I love your bows Chuck! Incredible bend for an ash bow.
How is the quill hafted to the bow? glued on?

Thanks. Simson, I tried to do the quill wrap like the real thing. I used long quills and did the fold under. Then I ran out of long quills and had to try and splice with super glue. When I shot the bow more cane loose and I used more dabs of superglue. Not proud of that, but I'm no quillworker. Peacebow, you got me looking at my tiller again. I'm not sure the bottom bends any more or less than the top. There is a point where you have to say close enough.

For sure Chuck, also I didn't see the little reflex on the bottom/right limb that's probably what got my eye :)
