wow... what's not to like about that bow.  I love the natural look, especially where the handle flows right into the limbs... and your tillering is spot on.   :OK

Beautiful bow but it looks like you have your brace height set way too high, it should be 6" to 6 1/2" from the back of your handle.

That's a Beaut!

I could be wrong, but I suspect perhaps they saw the black reference line you added in your full draw picture and thought it was the bow string at brace???

Nice bow Jonas, Eric I think your looking at full draw picture. I thought the same thing at first. Then I noticed the drawn bow string. The straight line must be photo shopped on picture.

Great looking bow!  That black line does make the full draw look like a high brace.
