I wish my first looked as good as this baby.
Tell use the truth, your already thinking about your next bow build, aren't you?

Well done, tiller looks good to me! You might want to shoot several arrows through it before you do all of the finish work. Can't wait to see it all dressed up! Patrick

Can I say how much I love, love, love how this bow shoots? It's a beast. My fiance (compound guy) is dying to shoot it over a chrono. My old aluminum arrows from my practice bow (Rudderbows purchase) tune like crap through this one though.... so while I put the finishing touches on the bow, a mess of arrows are slowly taking shape. Dogwood I harvested and garden stake bamboo - I'm glad I have a place I can go (this forum) where I'm not the only one who finds the below picture oddly satisfying.

Andrea, I get a little squeamish with others shooting my bows especially if they are compounders. Jawge

Great looking bow there.  It looks like you are going to be a busy gal.  Can't wait to see that bow finished :)

Good job !
Just make sure your bf dont overdraw the bow!!! It is YOUR bow made to YOUR drawlenght!
It can be seriously degraded or damaged even if its just an inch or two beyond what its made for.
