Heres a quickie i made over the weekend. I wanted a sweet shooting target bow(n possible hunting with it),so i came up with this game plan. A 64"ntn osage flatbow with a centershot shelf cut in. I let it follow the string a lil over an inch(for forgiveness of shooting). It came in at 63@27,dang i missed my weight by two pounds..lol. ;) 8) Padauk tip overlays. I left it el natural,nothing but bare naked wood. :) Its 1.7" deep where the shelf is cut,and a 1.5" deep dished grip. I made the riser section a little longer,and tillered my fades on the stiff side to ensure safety because i never cut a shelf so far in before. It worked like a charm and shoots wonderfully. The string is about dead nuts centershot. Im pretty geeked about this one. It spits a nice arra too ;) Thanks for peeking....Chris

Good looking bow. Nice work!

it had a couple spots where it didnt clean up all the way on the sides of the fades and handle...but i just see them as beauty marks....heres unbraced and full draw from both ways.

Very nice Hawk! Just a quiky ::) Wish I could could bust em out that quik!

"...all the way around!"
Howdy BlackHawk,
I was really enjoying the close-ups of the handle and rest, and then came the fill-draw shots... Super!
That's a huntin' machine ;)
Thanks for sharing,

Almost smells like dead elk around here.......hmmmm????? Thats a sweet tiller job. Very nicely done.

Very nice Tiller Hawkman!!! ... don't see any reason not to hunt that one :)
-
Looks like a sweet shooter to me. Good job on it.
-
The only way that one will look better is after a successful hunt! Nice job!
-
Awesome! Looks a lot like a hickory bow a did last year with a cut-in, even that light yeller color is close to the teak-oiled hickory. I've been wondering how padauk would look on osage, got plenty of that laying around. Looks good 8)

That has some sweet looking grain...nice piece ;)
-
Beautiful tiller! 8)

Great looking meat stick you crafted there! Especially like the handle/ natural grain look. Need to use that on moving targets that taste good >:D

sweet. you are a tillering machine! I have been thinking about trying one cut to center, but have been gun shy since one of my early attempts snapped in two. ::) It is amazing to me the way you guys turn these bows out so fast....

Nice looking tiller, BHawk. Ought to be a nice shooter.
-
Quickie, huh? Looks like it will be a long lasting bow. Nice job!
-
Looks like a good one, I like to put the string as close to center as possible if I can, and I bet that small amount of set does make it a sweet shooter.

Very nice Bow! :)
