Awesome work.  Looks like a bow of the month candidate to me.

Thanks for all the new comments!

It has held up remarkably well.  It has been my main target bow for a while now and I have shot it about 1000 or so times.  I am noticing a very slight amount of delamination at the horns, but I honestly cannot say how long it has been like that.  I am going to watch it carefully the next time I shoot it ;)

my favorite part about it is those "thorns" on the back of the flexing limbs
If nothing else fancy had been done to it , those thorns would have been enough
very nice
