Very well done!  I see what you mean on how well the osage handle picked up the red.  The colors do look great and man, those are some nicely thinned down tips.  Bet it shoots well.  Great job!

the tips were osage and i actually sharpened them down to an edge when i made them, it gave a pretty cool stealth bomber look after i dyed it black i thought, you cant really tell from the side pic though :P

Howdy Aries,

Is that a straight-tapered pyramid Bow? :o   I LIKE IT!!

I'll be heading down to the man cave now to lay out me next Red Oak Board Bow.
At the fades, what is the beginning width?

Thanks for sharing,
Canoe

Good going! I like how the tips narrow and from what I can see the tiller looks good. ;)

Very nice bow! Always nice to see a red oak - still one of my favorites. What is that string made of?

That's a spectacular looking bow!  The tips look almost too petite from the profile view - the way the chamfer cuts so close to the back of the nock.  Gorgeous!

Any chance of a close up shot of the stacked leather rest?  What impressed you so much about it?

Thanks every one!! ;D Hatcha: this is just the first bow i have stacked a leather rest on, instead of cutting it out of the wood. I just really enjoyed the simplicity of adding it onto the bow and the extra accuracy i gain by using it. Ill see what i can do about a picture this evening
