BowEd:
Thanks fellas....
I had been waiting for quite some time for a bow to accomodate the small amount of king snake skin I had.It was just enough.The amount helped sway me to making this type bow.
I think I can speak for other bowyers in that every bow made is a journey.Hopefully it's basically a trouble free one with minor problems easily solved.Some just take longer than others.It's the only way I know how to learn.
It's good to see large group of excellent bowyers on here again like there used to be 10 years ago.They showed 1 terrific bow after another back then.Many have left,but have been replaced.I do stay in touch with a few yet.

Nice work. Bet that bow would be hell to string with out a stringer. super reflex. :BB
BowEd:
It's possible and I've done it but it is more touchy then.Using the primitive stringer eliminates that.I'm not a fan of the step through method of stringing,but doing that properly every time can work too.I'm not that good doing it.It can strain 1 limb more than another over time to change it's tiller even on a bow without much reflex.

how do you string it,, I dont think I have seen your stringer,, anything to avoid tiller shifting is good (-S

It can happen I can attest to that.There's a limit as to how much reflex it can string though.I'll go to a peg board then.This one is 11.25" of reflex.Going over 12" and farther like I said I go to a peg board.It can depend on the amount of static bend that is on a tip also.Picture of the stringer is on previous page.
My right hand is doing all the pulling.The left hand is there just to steady it.
