Two Grunts is too cool. That carved out nock is a nice touch. All of Greg's bows are unique in his style, but this one really stands out. Nice trade fellas.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Thanks again for the comments guys, I love making bows and its nice to get feedback from ya.
Glis- The brownish areas of the limbs are leather dye that I applied and after dry I rubbed some dry ground raw umber earth pigment into it to highlight some grain then lightly blended it with a rag dipped in alcohol. The area at the handle and towards the tips is the bare locust wood and the art designs are acrylic paint, umber with a small amount of black mixed with it. I enjoy the finishing part of bow making but often have
to stop myself before I go overboard with the paints and designs. ;D
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Congrats, Rich! Looks cold up there. Sweet bow, BB. Nice job.
