Thanks guys! The dye job is simple enough, just a wiping stain mixed with teak oil.

Rob, there's 2 road trips that bow is meant for, your neck of the woods is one of them, but I can't cement in any plans yet. Where ever it goes, and whatever it shoots, I think it'll get the job done.

Love the grey color scheme. So on the diamondwood nocks, did you just cut multiple slivers and epoxy them together one over the other?

240m, diamond wood comes already laminated and each layer is dyed a varying colors to create a pattern. All I did is glue it, and shape it, but one could do the same thing yourself. Just do a web search for diamond wood blanks to find some. Bunches of different colors available.

Great looking bow! Never tried a bendy bow like that but when I see that scalloped side profile always want to stop what I'm doing and give it a go

Tattoo Dave, did you scallop the side edge for aesthetics and authenticity, or becuase of pin knots?

Springbuck,
The scallops were simply for my own personal liking. I just love the profile of scalloped bow.

Neat! I like the nocks! Looks like a shooter. Hope it holds up for you. Think positive!
