Looking real good now.  I'd say the bottom limb is a bit strong and still needs some work on the inner 2/3rds.  Top limb looks great.  

I have played around a lot with these assymetrical bows now after reading Dean's article on balance in the TBJ a couple issues ago.  I have found that for me, shooting 3 fingers under, and the top limb being an inch or two longer than the lower, that I need a slightly negative braced tiller to really balance it on a fulcrum.  It should likely be about even shooting split finger.  Since I have fine tuned this, my bows are really shooting sweet.

John that is what I am finding.  Normally I leave my limbs the same length to ¾´of an inch longer and end up with a 1/8” - ¼” positive tiller on the bottom limb.  Currently the bottom is tillered even with the top limb; it might end up with a little negative tiller when finished.  Also, as is common with Osage that has been heated and bent, this bow has a different profile, varying from one side of the bow to the other.    

Charles, the bow will be in the mail this afternoon or tomorrow morning.  The knock groves are straight with sharp edges so be careful when stringing the bow before installing the tip overlays or they may cut the string.  As was requested, I roughed out he handle in the Torges bulbous style and centered the sides allowing the bow to be shot either left or right handed.

Is anybody out there good at making strings?  The strings I make, though they work well, look like c***.  The bow is 64 ½” nock to nock and currently has an old string from a 64” Heritage longbow that had to be untwisted a few times.  I will tie up a new one for it before sending along but it would be nice if it had pretty sting on it ( :help: ).  Also, if anybody knows or has some influnce with the CFO and CEO of Bow Hush they might see if they would donate a set for the strings.    :)

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Walt,
What kind of string do you want?
B-50 or one of the higher tech ones like 8125 or D97 with padded loops?
Just let me know I can twist you up a couple.
Regards, Bert.

Terry,
Thanks!  The bow went to on to Christopher this afternoon for the finishing process.  I will email you his address.

Bert,
I use 15 strands of B50 for all my selfbows, so I don't know much about the high tech stuff.  From what they tell me any of the high tech string would be fine with this design.  I will send you Christopher’s contact information and the two of you can work out the colors to match the grip, tip overlays, and what ever else is going on it.

To everybody who emailed and posted advise a big THANKS!

The java will match one of the 2 tones of leather of the bow sleeve/case nicely but that's also going to match the quiver from Vermonster.   :thumbsup:  

You got to be styling when out and about with your gear ya know....

Yes sir Doc, snakes and lizards and....oh my !!    Seems as though there is some confusion on who does what. We have got some additional support on string building ect that differs from the original list. First off, I will be finishing the bow . This includes skins,overlays, and grip wrap. As to who builds the string and the actual specs for it I'm going to leave that to Terry to straighten out. Best Regards to all, Charles Sinclair

The more strings the better. I just don't know the spec's to give the folks building them. I guess Walt could provide this info?
