I'd say that bow turned out real well and that string is a nice touch of detail.
There's a lot of good wood to make a bow with but you really can't beat a good piece of ash...

Great looking bow.  I love the snake skin with matching string.
When I stop learning please put me in a box!

Great looking bow, string, tips and skins. I have been too chicken to go that skinny on my tips so far.

That bow turned out real nice,especially since you first considered it sub-par wood. Just curious,how does it cast an arrow.It does look fast. Good job. God Bless

That is a killer bow. Great design and way to get after it with the tempering!
Like others have said, those skinny tips and the perfectly matched string are tops!
"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
