Not sure how you got the chrysals in the handle but can see why you didn't in the limbs, smooth tiller. Nicely done Matt, real good looking bow.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Awesome bow, the bend is beautiful and I love the handle.  Did you use a blanket stitch on the grip, I have never thought of doing that I love the way it looks.

Thanks Peacebow

Thanks Gsulfridge
Thanks Pearly
Thanks Okie
Thanks Greg, I got them because my handle wasn't wide enough.  The tiller looked a lot worse before I did the glue up.  I had to do some minor retillering but it wasn't too bad.  The walnut was from an old set of acoustic guitar sides I had lying around.  Finally out them to good use :)
Thanks Blackhawk, this is the one you gave me advise on in e beginning thanks. 
Thanks Jawge
Thanks Grady, and yes I think it is the blanket stitch.  It is my  favorite because it covers the joint of the leather. 
Thanks ehvhram
Thanks Russ
Thanks Neolithic Man
