Very nice, I love the look of those rings and the tiller is spotless!

I've got to ask since I haven't tried it, does locust in this design shock the hand much? I've made a 73" molle with featherweight foot-long levers that did alright but wonder about a full-compass longbow with horn nocks.

Black locust. Black locust everywhere.
Mollegabets all day long.
Might as well make them short, save some wood to keep warm.
