Howdy all
Did some shaping and floor tillered her today, I decided to skip the long string and go straight to brace height. Unfortunatly I made the string to short so she has a brace height of
more than 7" which is far too much for a selfbow of this length so I'll have to make another string.
Here is what the tiller looks like upon very first bracing, fair few stiff spots to correct but not bad having only floor tillered and then braced. Bow is 1 1/2" wide in the center and remains roughly that width
untill it starts to taper in the last 8" to the tips which are 3 1/4" .... I've decided against recurving the tips, here are some pics

Is that a mini-Holmegaard bow? It would explain the tiller and, looking at the limbs, it does seem Holmegaard/Mollegabet-ish.
From the other pics on the site it looks to be more of a Holmegaard style
