Will B:
Very nice bow! I really love the pyramid design and not so muck the handle but I bet it shoots nice. What do you like better…building houses or bows? Thanks for posting your bow.

Thanks. We had a contractor doing the house but it was still more work than the bow. This winter we are finishing the basement so bows will look even better after that is done.

I like the width profile leading into the slim tips, and also where you distributed the bend in the side profile. ill bet she shoots smooth
bownarra:
That is a great example of tiller shape matching limb profile :) Nicely done.
With red oak to help avoid the set trap the back quite severely. like up to 40% less width than the belly!

Thank you, gentlemen. bownarra, I achieved a similar result with the Perry reflex preload I put on the belly during the glue ups. Trapping is something I will keep in mind as an addition to the Perry reflex for future bows, there is nothing wrong with using multiple techniques to help the wood out and maximize performance.
