That's a fine little bow, Jeff!
I also like the wood, plum is a beauty and very good bow wood.

One thing: I don't think it is a good idea to cut in the back for tip overlays like you did. This might cause splitting problems.

Thanks again guys.

OO, I don't think you'll be disappointed with Plum. I'd wish you luck with it but you don't need it.  ;)

Simson, you're right about the tips. I like this bow too much to loose it, so I think I'll redo them to make them overlays instead.

Nice Shorty  8)
"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
