That is a beautiful bow. Your finish work is ideal. If this is just your tenth bow we will have a-lot more bows made by you posted on here to see in the future. Thanks for sharing.

very nice work!  Looks very professionally done.   Tips, grip, brace and tiller are all top notch.  Overall great bow!  :)

Missile:  Nicely made bow.  Your finish work is how it should be, in my opinion.  Some of the best made, designed, character (or not) bows don't quite cut the mustard for me if the finish work is less than par.  I feel that if you're gonna devote all the time and sometimes frustration in making these works of art, you must also devote the same time on the finish work.  Yay on the 400 grit.

You done good.  Keep 'em coming!

Yes, I used dry heat on the tips. In my opinion, it is easier on the woob cells than steam.
