How dose she shoot,Love to see a full draw pic.
The stain looks nice,I would have probably spread the fads out a little longer but other than that a fine looking job.

I'll have to make a finished string to put on it. I used a friends string(same bow length) to finish the tiller and shoot it a few times. It shot ok, not great but it will shoot.

I bought some hemp string to finish off the handle and make a arrow rest while i was at it.

Overlays on the back of the tips? Why?

Tip overlays usually go the the back of the bow not the belly, but hey it's your bow. Don't be afraid to use some more sand paper next time, a few too many tool marks for my taste. Nice bow overall, you did good to get 60+ pounds out of a board bow.
