It seems like I have had quite a few staves that take this road. One limb is as straight as an arrow, the other crooked as a dog leg. That's what comes of following the grain, I just thought this bow oughta be named to match. It's 66" tip to tip, 55# at 28". 1 1/4" wide to 3/8" tips.

Here's the upper limb

The lower

Full draw, well 26" anyway   :rolleyes:

Nice bow, I prefer the look of the snaky bows to straight ones.

Fantastic tiller! It certainly is confused about whether to be character bow or a straight bow. I guess that's just it's character.  ;)

You sure can flatout tiller a bow.

I don't know about that BC, David Mimms is my tillering hero.

Another nice bow Dano. That is a fine job of tillering that you did.   :notworthy:  Those 1/2 straight staves can sure be a challenge.  :eek:

Great bow, Dano. As Kennym said.. Amazing what you selfbow guys can do. I have no patience for selfbows. Not at all..
Never believe that you are worthless .... you can always be used as a bad example!
