Here's the full draw shot, I'll get better front and side profile shots up soon.
I forgot to add the it's 1 1/8"  wide tapering a few inches from the tips.

The bow and Tiller look great. How's it shoot?

Thanks for the comments everyone..
For a snaky, wavy, twisted little stick it shoots surprisingly smooth and fast. I thought with the knot hole, a little twist here and there and the dogleg up top, it would have a lot of hand shock. I'm pleased with it and I plan on working on the sister stave soon.

Cheers
