First of all, thanks for the very well done pictures.
Got this very well crafted bow bookmarked for March Self BOM fun, too.

Yeah, thanks a lot Timo! ...had an idea it would lookk great from the one picture of the tip!
Is it the normal colour or did it darken from some heat treatment??

PS: this sure is one sexy bow!!!

Timo - that is a real beauty of a bow.  The cherry bark is very nice looking and the profile pictures look tremendous.  Way to go on something a bit different!

I love that bow and everything about it.  I've been whittling on a hickory with about the same dimensions and shape but if it lives (knot in the back splitting) it won't look near that nice.  Great job.

Stunning! Very Nice work. Hey, I live in southern MO do you know if it is possible to find KYcoffee tree around here? I have no idea what to look for.
Great job I always love the cherry backed ones.

Ok thanks Timo! I am sure I've seen some around here. I'll have to fire the saw up and go looking, (well I'll look before I fire it up)

I've thought about that wood for years.  Have a tree right in front of the office.  Great work and masterful finishing.
