Yep, I saw that one on PA but still just as perty here as it was over there. You have a real knack for nailing those tillers perfect. Nice job Ken.  :thumbsup:  

I like the walnut underlays.

Nice bow, Ken. How thick and wide is the handle section?
I have an osage stave that I worked down to about 1" and was thinking of a bend-through-the-handle bow.

Another nice looker Ken.  I think it's OK if you want to take some time to sleep between building bows.  Do you take much time to shoot any of these?
