Thanks for the kind words all. The bow is very light in the hand and yeah cherries are lovely to eat or drink (cherry vodka)
Often knock up some after the seasons glut along with sloe vodka, skittles vodka and too many others ;)

Cherry seems strange like that, for starters its stained all one colour but there seems to be a sapwood which is very thin say 5-8mm then the light coloured wood and at the center of older trees a dark coloured heart wood. There as none in this bow but some in the first sapling cherry i did an age ago. Almost 3 distinct colours to the wood, more if you include the cambuim etc.
