Absolutely perfect all around, especially that tiller. Great work big guy.

Thanks Guys.....Especially the comments on the bend.
I took some progressive pictures on the full draw.  Notice the reflex at the fades during brace, and how it disappears about half way through the full draw.

Bayou Ben....the finish over the feathers is a two part epoxy called "Flex Coat" used in fishing rod construction.

Thanks again,
DBar

Once again Bill, that is a beautiful bend. Thanks for the progressive draw pictures. Seems like your shoulder is getting better? Sure hope so.
