Bob, I cant get over how much those tips look just like my flooring samples labeled rosewood. I wonder if the flooring company is loose with their terms?

Cocobolo is the true rosewood. I guarantee they aren't using cocobolo!!!  Distrust anything called rosewood, there are many , many woods that get the name simply because true rosewoods hold a high price.

Oh and the bow is a beauty!

The tiller is right on! Very nicely done! Jawge

      Thank you George and everyone else for the complement's .
       I think every bow I make for now on I am going to make it as I was making it for someone else. I think I go to a whole new level of bow making.  I just wish I was younger and my hands and shoulders didn't hurt that much . I would be cranking bows out. But older wiser and slower might be the key.
