Thanks seabass

Thanks soy

Thanks Simson, I have shot this bow a couple hundred times te bark seems to be holding good. Purple leaf has a pretty elastic and hold strong. Any stave over 3" in diameter the bark is too rough and thick to wanna stay on.

Thanks Randman, the bark didn't pop off. I took it off with the draw knife bc I had plans to flip the tips a bit the. Decided not to.

Thanks 4dog

A guy gets busy for a week or so and he misses something like this!!!

Totally awesome bow Bryce. Isn't purple leaf addicting stuff? Finest bow wood I've laid my hands on.  And you did it justice right there.

How wide are the inner limbs?  I bet you could have even gone a bit narrower without bringing on set. 

I really like how the handle leather and the back look together.  And the tiller is on the money. Great stuff.

You know, I don't think I want to harass a guy about pinky placement with a bow like that in hand and a broadhead handy! I think I'd just politely say that's one beautiful bow right there!

BTW, how did you feather the transitions from the bark at the edges? Any special care or finish work required? I really like the bark!
