Have not been on here much, but I have to say that bow is nice! Great job Pearlie!

Wow Chris, you keep pushing the limits, beautiful! 

Because it's a take down, it would be a crime not to plan a back county hunt,,,,,,let me know when you ready to dust off the backpack and start training,,,  ;D ;D ;D

Well done Brother,

That one's in the best top 10 ever posted on this site hands down.  I've been slowly rasping away at my riser block for over a year. I'll have me one of those in about a decade at the rate I'm going. :laugh:

Awesome job. I'd take that over the devil's golden fiddle any day of the week.

Thanks again for the words fella's. I worked my butt off on this one and appreciate your comments!

Excuse me for being uninformed, but is the bow you made harder to make than the self bow? I really like concept of making take down with self limbs as I have lots of various types of wood (short in length) that could be used as limbs and some other wood I could use for the riser, although not the pretty one like you made.
I though of maybe making black locust limbs.

How do you tiller this thing and if you mess up, does only limb/s broke or the riser also? I thought I could make one good riser and just try to tiller it with various limbs until I succeed.
