That is really nice.  Man you got that juniper bending! The unbraced pic shows that you took great care tillering that bow.

Thanks gentlemen, I hardly ever post the bows I finish.  Although all the comments are very encouraging, and keeps me motivated to keep posting bows.  So thanks for all your comments.

Very nice!  I have to ask...where or how did you come up with earth pigments so vivid and bright?  The coloration is astonishing!  Josh

Great looking bow redhand. I love the sliver of heartwood up the centre. Good job on the artwork too

Thanks goat I appreciate it.

Gun Doc -   I ordered the pigments online its called natural earth paint I just mixed them with hide glue, then coated the bow with 5 coats of tru oil.

Nice bow. I love tillering juniper. Do almost all of it with 80 grit.
