Looks like it is going to be a great shooter, hope you get to shoot it soon. What kind of wood did you use?

Very nice bow. You've done an excellent job with that one. The overlays could be slimmed down somewhat though

Great bow. I love the handle colors and how you made it. I bet that is going to be a great shooter.

Good job man, that is a great looking bow.  I'm with Marc though, you could slim the tip overlays down a little.  Justin
