 Morgan, that bow looks sweet.  Nothing wrong with that tiller.

Thank you, my eye said it was ok, but I wanted a second opinion.
Yes it is hackberry, I made a correction on the top limb because there was a natural jog 8” or so from the fade that would cause that limb to be deflexed. I followed Hoosiers advice and went a little past straight with it and matched the other limb which gave it about 1” or so of reflex. All the reflex pulled out exercising it on the tiller tree and it hasn’t moved since. I sincerely hope it doesn’t take any string follow or change tiller too much after properly shooting in. I’ll try to get the overlays on tonight, that’s virgin territory for me so I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed on it.

I wanted to update everyone that right now it looks like we won't need to switch anything up.  It looks like everyone in this trade will have a bow done by the deadline.

Please still hold off on shipping though.  Thanks.

Overlays were glued on and Sanded the bow down to 400 grit. Shot 100+ times. Gonna dye, stain, topcoat, slap some leather on the handle and call it a bow. I don’t have a chrony, but I haven’t made a bow that shoots faster than this. 47#@28”

Well I changed the color scheme on the bamboo bow. Birch bark and this nice blue. I’ve always loved that combo. Hate to let this bow go, but I decided that’s the one I’m shipping. It’s ready other then making a string for it and one more coat of clear. My guy hasn’t posted in a while, so when I see some progress from him, it’s ready to ship. Hope he likes it.
