Thanks fellows for all the good comments I only got to build a couple bows this winter this was the firtst  one I finished. Only the second set of tip overlays I ever did. I had trouble with one coming loose at first but I used some bad epoxy it might have been to old.

A very fine bow - and the tip-overlays are extremely cool.

What's not to like about that Sweet example of Craftsmanship ??!! I'd like a brief description of what part of the antler you used, and how you shaped / polished it ?? BEST Tips I've seen in a while. If it shoot near as good as it looks, I'd be stoked !!

Thanks again guys for the kind words,and barebow I used the verry tip of the antler. I dug through my box and found two that were curved similar, cut them at 2"then sanded where they fit against the bow to a feather edge. Glued them on, filed the string grooves then shaped with a rasp and sand paper. they still looked a little bulky so I ground the concave above the string groove with a dremmel tool. I hope that helps.
