Those a really nice,  Interesting handle design on the last one, did you flatten the boo, and glue the hardwood on the back?

Thank´s,
@Medicinewheel: Hm, Morado is kind to purple heart i would say, from the same familly.Very hard, oily ( hard to glue) and not that kind of a good stuff under compression but very nice and a good center lam.

Great looking bows. Serious contenders for October Laminate Bows of the Month.
