Nice Chris. I'm with Greg, that finish on the rawhide is fine stuff! But then, all your work is Grand Maestro level. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Very nice looking bow PD! Rawhide looks great on there! Was there a problem or is it just for added insurance?

 Pearlie  added rawhide to keep the ticks off it if you know what I mean.

Nice looking bow Chris. Was the rawhide just for added insurance? The only reason I ask is because I have no experience making a bow of that style.

Been waiting for this one. Chris i agree on the rawhide job, very well done. Reminds me of birch bark and it should work well in the woods! Looks like you still have plenty of string on the grooves at brace.

Just beautiful!  Put me in the "love the look of that rawhide" camp, also.
Yeah, I remember when we had a President who didn't wear a tinfoil hat.

Holy smokes, that thing is awesome Chris. Like you said the rawhide is amazing. did you run into any stability or line up problems with them fish hooks?
