Here's one I finished for my brother-in-law from a slender belly split. I've always had trouble with D-bellied English style longbows. I'm not completely happy with this one, but overcame some problems I've had on previous attempts. I would have like to dialed in the tiller a little bit better, but I'll let him shoot it in and then tweak it. Anyway, it's 70" ntn, 52#@28", has zebrewood tip overlays, and goatskin lacing for a handle wrap (please pardon the ugly and out-of-place floppy rest!). Thanks for looking!

well that is a very nice bow for all the flaws you see. I don't see any but hey if he don't like if you can always send it south of ya. I like the simple lean look of that bow.
Nice job 4est!
Great way to use up a split! Looks nice
Very sweet! Wish I can get tillers to look like that.
That is a great lookin bow! I love those elbs. Tiller looks pretty dang good to me. Do you have problems with d-bellies trying to track sideways on you? Thats the problem I've had with them in the past.
Great looking bow. Super clean and excellent craftsmanship.
Oh yes,,, that I like! Good job!
4est
Love your "stuff"!

Hey Curt.......did I ever tell you how much I hate you?.........Jus Kiddin! :saywhat:
Absolutely Flawless Performance as always, very nice job! :thumbsup:
I always wondered why we don't see more of these. Excellent job/tiller/everything.
You really need to do something about that floppy rest...just kidding. What floppy rest?
I'm too busy looking at that beautiful bow!
Nice, 4est, you're too hard on yourself.
Looks Great!
