I'm in nyc right now i will be going home late tonight, hopefully i can get some pics up before thanksgiving dinner if not maybe the day after.
pappy i do use this bow alot, its actually my favorite because of the hide
ill have to do some common sense measurements on how long i can have the tips out.
also you brought up another question, what is a good natural finish i can put on this bow... i was thinking of rubbing and melting beeswax into it but im not sure if that would have any adverse affects.
