A while back Roy sent (traded) me some Boo backing ready to glue up.
Thanks Roy :bigsmyl:

Looks like a ELB style tiller you got going on there. I like the funky finish, what exactly did you do to get that look?

Flem---That's not the finished Tiller :tongue:---More pic. tomorrow  :thumbsup:
Google--Mouth Atomizer

you can wipe on alcohol dye, then blow alcohol with the Mouth Atomizer, and a small brush with 1 or 2 hairs on it to drop dye or alcohol on.
Takes time to play around with it.

Thanks Pat, That James Parker finish is hard to do.

Mark, you are the King of cool finishes!
Still looks like a ELB style tiller to me. Circular and bending deep into the fades. I like it, no wasted limb :thumbsup:

Seem like most of the built up riser trilams I have seen pics of don't bend that deep into the handle.
I always hate to see all that meat going to waste ;)

IMO, that is what a well tillered R/D bow should look like at full draw. I don't like seeing those outer limbs unopened like lots of the R/D bows show these days. Well done, Mark.  :notworthy:
