I'm a fan of your work!  Loved the one that was the cover photo over at PP a while back, too.  Love the thin tips and the taper.  I'm curious how you're confident to cut the nocks through the back.  Is it because of the stiffness of the tips that you get away with it?  And may I ask how wide the bow is at the handle?  Kudos to you!

Very nice! That is a beautiful finish. The red looks almost like cocobolo.

Thank you very much!

@zenmonkeyman
You are right, cutting the nocks through the back is only possible because of the stiffness of the tips.
The bow is about 1.4 inches wide at the handle and about 0.3 inches at the tips.

Great bow. Especialy I like the limb tips. I bet the mass reduction in those tips helps a lot with handshock reduction.

Beautiful bow!!  You covered all the basics in building a whitewood bow,wide, thin, narrow tips.  I'll bet it shoots as good as it looks.  Excellent craftsmanship.
