Here's one I just finished up. 'Raven' is bamboo backed, with a yew core and osage belly. It's 58" ntn, 57# @ 28", weighs 15 ounces, balances delicately on the middle finger, and with limbs timed as well as I could get them for my split finger release, ultimately revealed an equal tiller. The bottom limb is 1 1/2" shorter than the top.

Here's a few more...

The only full draw picture I have right now was taken on the tree just after I finished tillering it.

That'sch one Schexchy bow as Sean Connery would say, my eyes were playing tricks on me in the first two pics, looked like you had even limbs then just cut 1 1/2 of the recurve! Awesome bow man, good lookin tiller, and sweet name :)

Beautiful bow,very nice work. Grip stiching is very nice and tiller looks dead on to me. :)

I think the camera will foreshorten the lower limb when pics are taken of a bow resting with one limb on the ground.
The trick is to kneel down when taking the pic so the camera is level with the grip.
It's surprising what a difference it makes.

-

Dang...how did I miss this one ??? Nice one Mr Durnell ;) that's got hunting written all over it,and a great candidate for a dean torges ambush bow contest ;)
-
Looks killer man!nice one!
-
Nice looking bow.
-
Thanks fellas.
Yeah Chris, it might just meet the requisites for that contest ;) I'm impressed that you recognized it as such. I actually had the ABC in mind as I designed and built it. I remember Dean saying such a bow should be easily strung, from a crouched or laying position if need be... hence the degree of deflex. Turns out it's a very stable little bow to shoot too. I doubt I'll hunt without h it though. I have a habit of hunting with selfbows.

Not to mention that's a killer trifecta...;). I hear ya on only using self bows in the woods...but Roy would try n hunt with it...if it was 20 pounds :laugh: 57 might be a bit too much for his ole gumships :laugh:
