Beautifull character, I like it very much. I think there will be some problems with arrow rest.

Absolutly awsome bow....I cant even begin to imagine what it must have been like to tiller (well, I can...but none the less). I love it....it really has soul.

I would have gone with another type of rest....but man, what a bow:-)
