two more,, not sure about the full draw yet,, I think i have a bit of fine tuning on that,, but will post that as well,,I heat treated the belly,, and some spots look a little stiff,,,, it shoots real nice,, so I am just thinking a bit before I start to scrape,

Thanks for the paint along Brad. Looks great. I really like the blue with the white dots. Gives me some ideas.

thanks guys,, the think twice and scrape once is great,,
and I am glad I may have inspired some ideas,, I learned alot,, I just tried some different things to see how they would look,  and probably the bow would look great with just taking one theme and sticking with it ,,,but I was having so much fun I got carried away,,, I am hoping the deer and turkeys will love it, I was thinking I might have to put a green or black masking tape on it to hunt turkeys , they see pretty good and make me nervous, so we will see,, full draw to come, I think good or bad,, :)
