Is that gold handpainted on a blue background? That's a beauty.

Man Francesco, that is one of the nicest bows I have seen.  Great job.  What was the time investment for somethining like that?  The tiller looks great.

A Stunning example of a Turkish bow.
Are the horn strips going all the way to the tips base? I haven't managed to get any that long yet especially for a 47 inch bow! Just out of curiosity did you use matching or non-matching grooves?

My god Francesco, beautiful composite!. Is that gold leaf on the limbs? I wish there were more composites posted on this site. It is the ultimate test of bowbuilding. I must now ask, how fast does it cast arrows of different weights?
