Awesome work.  Looks like a bow of the month candidate to me.

Thanks for all the new comments!

It has held up remarkably well.  It has been my main target bow for a while now and I have shot it about 1000 or so times.  I am noticing a very slight amount of delamination at the horns, but I honestly cannot say how long it has been like that.  I am going to watch it carefully the next time I shoot it ;)

my favorite part about it is those "thorns" on the back of the flexing limbs
If nothing else fancy had been done to it , those thorns would have been enough
very nice
when i'm working on things my ancestors worked, singing the songs my ancestors sang, dancing the same dances, speaking the same language, only then  I feel connected to the land, THIS land, where my ancestors walked for thousands of years...
