Does it have a backing?  How long is it?  That is a really neat design...I just might have to try one myself.  Good job!

My hat's off to you guys who can get tips on those to line up.  Not as easy as it looks, from my experience.

no backing , its self bow. I use only hot steam . Leather on tips - I think very  "asiatic"  ;)

Cool looking bow.  What are the leather "sleeves" near the end of the limbs for?

I think that this is a very unique bow.  I really like the way that it is designed. Great job.
