Wow Bub, gorgeous.   (A)  Love those tip underlays, and the way you wrapped the maple belly up the grip like those glass boys do it.  ::) ;)
No doubt, patience pays off

Sweet bow all around and feel that's an understatement.Love what you did with the stain on those nodes.Seems patience wins the race with decisions on bows.

Am I mistaken that I see walnut underlays towards the tips?What was the pita about those fades?

Yup walnut underlays Ed, the pita was all the extra work, prebending them , they were a bear to get the proper pressure on plus the crap i will get cause they do look like a fglass bow. Just wanted to try something differant. I also had to grind off the belly lam twice on it so i had to do them 3 times😲
Thanks bill😉

I see then it was a guessing game as to how thick the laminations were to be before glue up.Still nice work though getting a smoooooth shooter.
