That bow is very striking, especially with the finish details on the strike plate, tips and handle wrap. Real nice Del.

The strike plate is cool, but ditto on the nocks. That transparency is killer. Good job, Mr. Cat!!

The strike plate is a classy touch, but then again, the entire bow is quite classy!  Josh

Great bow again, Del.
Your nocks are top of the line! And the color of the horn is beautiful.

Now, I just think the strike plate is gilding the lily.  Your bows are the "gold standard" as it is, no need to dress them up at all!  None the less, amazing work with the inlay!

Wow, that is a beautiful longbow.  Top notch work Dell.
