I just got some black walnut for riser material, but haven't tried it yet for a bow. Yours looks sweet. What about the full draw?

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Here's the full draw pic. Sorry the bows at a little bit of an angle but it'll work. I don't think the tillers to bad

It's awesome bow wood and probably one of the most beautiful

That's a sweet looking bow. I really like the contrast between the sapwood and heartwood too.

Yea it turned out nice thank you !

Yes you're right it is very comfortable to shoot almost as smooth as my hackberry bow that's similar to this one

Nice work on that BW.

I have limited experience and have only finished 4 bows. 3 osage and 1 black walnut. The walnut has been the best performer so far.
