This is the bow that I made for the Christmas Trade. It is 60" nock to nock, and 50# @ 28". The tips were flipped and the belly was heat treated over a bed of coals. It has a big kink in the top limb that didn't want to budge so I left it. The bow bends slightly through the handle but I built up the handle with some cork for comfort. The tips are made from sheep horn and the natural texture of the horn was left on part of the overlays. The handwrap is leather with leather lace. The stain is leather dye and the artwork is done with acrylic paint. The string is fastflight. I really enjoyed making this bow from start to finish. I'm particularly pleased with the artwork on it as I was able to play around with some new ideas and techniques. I am reluctant to stick it in the mail so I think I will make another bow similar to this one for myself at some point. I hope my recipient enjoys shooting it as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for looking.

I'd be afraid to shoot a beautiful bow like that... But I would! Nice work
