Not a criticism, just a suggestion. (Hope you don't mind, you obviously have the necessary skill)
There are some tiny tweaks you could do to improve the leather work.
Shaving the edge of the leather and folding it over and gluing it along the top an bottom edges can look really smart.
Also keeping to the same over under rhythm with the stitching and working out a tidy way to finish off makes a difference... it's a pain at first and I've had to re-do the stitching more than once but it's worth the trouble.
This post shows what I mean:-

Thank you Del, I see what you mean and really appreciate your suggestion. It's a tiny thing but as you said it makes a difference.
After uploading pictures I realised I messed up a bit stitching. I will work on it!

Fantastic bow, great job!
This is an extraordinary piece of yew, love the character.
And yes, this bow is it worth to replace the stiching. Maybe glue on rawhide on the inside of the beaver to prevent break outs.
