Hi mates, thank you to all of you.
I've put two coats of an ecologic wooden oil as finish, and some aniline on the back cause it wasn't clean because of being outdoors many time.
Here I put some more pics:

I'd sure like to shoot it. Got your hackberry bookmarked under Self Bows for March Bow of the Month, of course.

Great looking bow. It is always nice to see the natural profile of the wood put to use.  Justin

Today I've been shooting with two friends, Raśl and Kiko.
The hackberry bow is a present for Kiko. Here you have more pics of Kiko with his new bow, and one of my nepheu with a little elm bow I made for him time ago.


Thanks for looking,
David
