Great looking bow.  Those short flipped tip D bows really do shoot quite well

Thank you all for your comments!

BTW: The arc in the first pic is not a circle - it is a shallow ellipse

Great looking bow Simon. Your always coming up with cool new stuff like that handle with the toes attached. :)
And nobody nails a tiller better than you, excellent bow once again.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Simply awesome bow. The huge tree in the picture is--well, impressive, too.

Hi Simon,

What an awesome looking bow! I love the toes as well. Perfect tiller and nice shape. It must be a blazingly fast bow. Have you chronied it? I like bendy handle bows the best, its all I am currently interested in, so this is a great example of a perfect bendy handle bow. With zero set you must have floor tillered it for a long time before stringing it?

Again thanks for your nice compliments!

I haven't shot it through a chrony yet, but will do when i get my hands on one.
I do no floor tillerering. I spent much time to work as precisely as possible before bendind the stick for the first time.
I do the first bending horizontally (with a long string or a tiller string with leather shoes (in case I have no notch) hanging the string in the vise . This allows drawing the bow and watching vertically with no perpective angle and additional feeling the amount of bend with other hand on the bow 's belly
