Killer recurve, Weylin. Looks even better in person. Shoots alright too ;)

Nice bow, youŽll get my vote. Only some minus points from the funny and unnecessary peg inserted as arrow self.

Beautiful. What is the edging around the backing. Did you do that by hand?

Thank you everyone for the kind words!  :D

Tillstave, the edging is done with acrylic paint by hand. I felt like this bow needed a little something between the skin and the bow. The transition didn't look quite right without it.

What a beauty of a bow, but I think I would have named it " Starfall" since it isn't a raven feather anyway. One day I gotta get me a piece of yes but you don't see it growing in Missouri  lol.

Congratulations on Backed Bow of the Month.  That bow is one of the classiest bows I have ever seen.  Well deserved and a top candidate for Backed Bow of the Year  12 months from now
