Thanks Jon, I like the way the backing looks too. I'll be doing another one sometime in the future with this bark.
Thanks for the compliment Rich, appreciate it, That handle was some scrap leather that I had been looking for the right bow to use it on
for some time now.

Dang it!  That mulberry is some pretty wood.  Nice job saving that one.  I have wrapped several bows that made that awful sound  :(  I think that since you took it down five pounds, you could shoot that bow as much as you like and never have another problem - and forty pound bows are nothing to sneeze at.  I am strongly considering using a forty pounder this year for my main hunting bow.  My lighter weight bows seem to be a little quieter and it is much easier to draw a lightweight when your muscles are cold from sitting still a long time.    That is a beautiful bow and deserves to be hunted with.    Always enjoy seeing your work Greg.

Awesome bow Greg, what process did you follow in applying the birch bark?  I am about ready to back my trade bow with Cherry bark and have done some research on the process but I am always willing to get more advice and learn as much as I can.
