Nice bow and worth fretting over, they all are!

Sadie,
     Very nicely done, like the color scheme and the braced profile is great.....sorry your customer wants the leather and floppy, kind of like just like it is, myself.

thanks rich.
not a customer(i'm really a rank amateur and no plans of ever having customers..)
but a good friend.
and tho i don't really feel comfortable building for others as i dont have enough under my belt at this point.
i feel pretty comfortable with this bow...and with my friend in case that bow ever broke.
he understand bows and the inherent possibility of bows breaking

yup i agree about the rest...personally prefer off the hand shooting. and i think it looks out a place on this bow.
