I was hoping for nicer weather for the pic's, but this time of the year in Wisconsin that's as rare as a sensible politician. Couldn't get my daughter enthused about taking a picture of me actually drawing the bow in the rain. But who knows; there might be a sunny day yet this month :rolleyes:

Thank you Macbow, Roy, Eric, and everyone else for the advice and tips. Really happy with the way it turned out and the way it shoots. That's a gnarly, old mulberry in my yard.

Sure looks good. If it shoots well for you that is all that counts.

I guess it's OK:) ^5

Thanks guys. Tiller probably would have been better except Roy's Tillering Hotline is long distance for me. You gotta make that more user friendly.

Guess it is a bit stiff at the fades. Oh well, next time...

Thanks again guys! This is a terrific forum.

That looks great. I like your tips.

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #14 on:** May 05, 2013, 07:22:00 PM »

Yes it is stiff at the fades, ya should have called me:) Other than that it looks sweet. You won't lose but 4 or 5 pounds if ya get them fades bending more, but that's up to you.

takefive · « **Reply #15 on:** May 05, 2013, 09:18:00 PM »

Think I'll leave it be and try to get the fades bending better on the next one. I'll have some pic's taken before I do the finishing on it too. I checked the draw in the mirror on this one, but just didn't catch it. Hope to start the next one in a couple of weeks. I'll be calling, Roy :-)

Well done!

Roy from Pa · « **Reply #17 on:** May 10, 2013, 10:47:00 AM »

It's not really bad.
555-555-5555 call me next time:)

Thanks twitchstick! I've shot a few hundred arrows thru it and it is holding up nicely. Tips still have a lot of reflex and the bow has some zip to it. Thanks again to Roy, Ron, Eric, and everyone else for their help and advice because I know that I couldn't have figured it out without your help. Still think that's long distance for me Roy :-)

The reason I keep making more bows is 'cuz the way I tiller it's good to have spares.
