Tips came out of an old Bear Polare that my friend had that had exploded. Was an I Beam riser so I took some Rosewood out of it and it was really figured stuff. Enjoy. . .

Any reason you are short drawing with your bow arm bent?

If i remember correct? You have an old skewl HedgeHunter 50@27” Superhedge??
Camera timer took shit while i was still drawing prolly. Can tell because arrow is not even back. Dont my left arm goes straight. Take home prize from BiG OD Green.😝
Lotta stuff going on with a bow thats only 1” wide with a glue on handle. Hand carved a slot in bow and handle. Then, insert a edge grain tennon. The tennon is only about 1/16” beside sight window. Looks just like a billet bow but hecka lot more you dont see. Shoots right where you point it.

Selfbow building not like glass bow building. Done plenty of that too. Building selfbows you really learn what and how to build bows and what makes perform. Tillering is about non existent with glass. Get yer lam stack recipe, glue it up and maybe have to sand belly glass a touch to get it to gall into the tiller you we looking for.
I thought i knew how to build bows when i built lots of glass bows. Not at all really.

Great looking bow... But she appears to be bending a lot near the fades...
Does look that way. Be interesting to see an actual full draw pic ;)

Maybe angle of pic. Remeber wood does not tiller its self like glass.
