We’ll gang it. Someone needs to speak up and break the tension. Sweet looking bow for someone!

Glad it got there in good shape. Stic made a great shipping box. I wish I would’ve made you a 62” that’s the first 60” I’ve made of that design. That bow felt like it stacked but my scale showed it was good to 28”s. I hope it’s okay at your draw length.

I thought I'd give some more detail on my tillering workflow.  Here's Chapter 2.

Finally got a decent day to shoot my swap bow. Shoots great! Thanks again Mike for the great bow. I took a couple pics of my 61" recurve side by side. A lot of difference in design. Goes to show two totally different designs can both work well.

Lots of progress made on the bow.  Here is a quick tiller check after shaping the handle a bit and cleaning up the tips.  Can't wait to start shooting her in.  Right on target with draw weight.  Really liking this bow!
