again thanks guys,the bark is one layer thick..the white bairch tree was a downed limb from the ice storms here last year,i peeled the bark off in one large layer,and soaked it in white vinegar for for several months,it peeled very easy to single layers,and it wont dry out so fast, so you can have a longer working time..james

Hey James,

Man that bow turned out great.  I love that triangle look at brace...very unique.  I heard this design doesn't stack at all...true?

 That is Sweet, buddy! Just my opinion, that has to be one of the best looking reproductions I've ever seen.
