Very, very nice! I love the way it bends when drawn, looks almost like a composite.  :-*

congratulations on this one!

Nice job, Maitus!

Sweetness is in the bend. also love the markings from the ostrich rawhide. well done is an understatement.

Maitus, you don't post often, but every bow you post impresses me deeply.  I love the curves of this new bow, sir.  She's a real beauty, and I am sure she is a great shooter!
