Real nice.  Does this bend in the handle at all?  Or just to the handle?

First of all, Gorgeous bow and Gorgeous work! I love the bow, very nice tiller as well. Secondly, you say it is a reflex deflex. Did you glue in reflex in glue up and it tillered out at fulldraw, as I don't see any reflex in it at fulldraw or brace? At least I was wonderin... Either way it's a killer bow!!! The dye job is cooler than hell too.  ;D
