Pat, well done. Tiller looks good to me too.

Pat B:
Thanks, guys. I shot 15 arrows today and she shoots well but has some hand shock. I think once I shape the limb tips it will smooth that out. I added tip overlays this afternoon so tomorrow I'l shape the tips. Then sanding and a few coats of Tru-Oil and a hemp cord handle wrap with a floppy rest.
I am concerned about the knot that runs across the top limb about mid limb. I guess we'll see.
Pat B:
I narrowed the tips and added mahogany overlays(TBIII)...
..of course the dogs are doing what they like to do on a rainy day.
...and I added the leather handle overlay to fill out the back of the handle. Once the glue dries(TBIII)I'll shape it to the handle...
PEARL DRUMS:
looking good so far, Pat. I dont blame you for having concern over that knot. Suckers will sneak up and nip you when you least expect it.
bjrogg:
Looks like a nice tiller Pat. Sometimes it’s nice having a bunch of half done stuff to switch things up and keep a person from getting impatient and doing something dumb on just one when patience is what is needed.
Yes often times the slow way is the quickest and most dependable way.

PS Yeah that knot going all the way across is a little scary
