Painted rawhide backing... (full draw and other new pictures added)

wow, I have to say, ganz toll, und sehr schon.

That's really slick. It's a great looking bow to begin with, and the art really adds to it. wicked cool visual appeal.

The overlays on the tips look great too, very nicely done.

Mehr fotos, bitte? =)

... The full draw pic is a thing of beauty...  for some reason I just keep going back to look again.

...I wonder why...??      (She is my music student, and she only started archery last year; she had that stance from minute one on, and I guess she'll move to like 45# of draw very soon)


Again thank you all together, really glad (and a bit surprised, too...) you all like the artwork!
The one guy at the club always teases me for painting some of my bows, but he 'kninda' liked this one... 
Have to give some credit to Mr. Ed Scott for the inspiration, and I'm thinking about trying a how-to since there seems to be much interest!

This is typical fine craftsmanship that Frank produces. A serious contender for April Laminate Bow of the Month. Thanks-medicinewheel!

I said it at FC in German and I have to repeat it here in English: A great bow and very fine craftmanship - I like it very much.

Hi there medicinewheel,That is a great job. I always love original designs, and tapered bows . Like the holmegaard bow. I am building a walnut laminated bamboo backed bow.I am waiting on Dave to ship new stock of bamboo. I will post later. But your bow is just out of this world.! Like the painting. I like to back my bows with elk hide.I live just down the road from a brain tanner , who is a dear friend, no pun intended.lol Keep up the good work, Can't wait to see the next one. Denny
