thanks a bunch guys! :) I think the tips are made from blood wood. I had some scrap pieces laying around of some unidentified red/orange  wood I thought it was Padauk at first but it is too hard and red to be Padauk.

Beautiful bow Josh, excellent performance as well. Thats world class speed. You need to get locked out more often, thats my favorite style of bow.

Thanks  coaster!

thank you Steve!  Good to know that I am on the right track.   :)

thank you Parnell!

Thank you Soy!

Thanks Straightarrow!  I tried to make this one with less frills... I just wanted a no nonsense performer. :)

Thank you Arrowwind!

Thanks David!  Have you heard from Mr. Clark?  I haven't heard from him since I traded him a flute for his daughter for Christmas. :)
