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.

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.

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!
