Great job.  That is a beautiful stick.  Very nice overlays and finish.

Thank you, Bubby.

Thanks, Setarip! The tip overlays are buffalo horn.

Thank you, Del. It's hard to take a picture that shows off the character of a bow, that's one way I've figured out to do it.

Thanks, Patrick!

Thanks, Bryce  8)

Thank you on both counts, Aaron.

Glad you enjoyed it, Seiddy. The babies sure have a way of doing that. You forget what life used to be like.

Aww shucks, Thanks Chris.  :-*

Thank you, Will.

Thanks Simon! I'm working on a hollow limb design right now. can't wait to shoot it. It's a fun way to tiller a bow.

Nice work on that wonky stick! Is this so that you can train to shoot a bow the right way?  :P

Congrats on the new arrival (baby not the bow).

I've seen a couple of your bows now (on this forum) and always been very impressed with the attention to detail. In this bow its the tip overlays, way beyond just simply functional. Possibly more impressive (to me at least) is that you were able to tiller that out at all, a stick that much character (alway thought this was a pleasant euphemism) would have sent me running.

Fine looking weapon. And that black/white "to the sky" photo is genius way of communicating bow's character.

That's good! Can't wait to see your HLD. It's more work to tiller them out, but performance is a dream.
