Pretty nice and well-tillered. Any chance of taking the full draw a little closer? Bookmarked in any case for March Self BOM fun.

i really like how you did your overlays and the transition from snake to the end. is that a sinew wrap with thread X over it?
how did you do that.

Aint never heard of no Walo Walo Snake before....Just the Walo Walo of Senegal.....Ancient Drummers of the Talking Drums

Nice Bow....I like the String Wrap and Leather Accents....Tips Look Cool too......

Thank you!
@El Destructo: Hydrophis fasciatus might be the laten name of that sea snake.
@n2everything: no its not sinew just ordinary sewing thread and the X hm, I just made an X over it

Thank´s acker

Nice job on that locust. I like the way you finished up the tips.

Sweet! I love the way the grip sets off the tip overlays
