Wow, thanks everyone!

DC- yes stain it with rit dye, let it dry then drip some alcohol on it...I used a Qtip to make some patterns within the drips and blend the brown into the black. Cody's flute (missile master) was the inspiration for the dye job.

Chris, ya I was wondering if it was too heavy and the draw too long!   >:D

Danny boy, yup we're dragging him bow hunting in Grayling next fall- NO EXCUSES!

Thanks guys! I wasn't sure on the dye job but I just went with it...I really liked the way it turned out especially outside in the natural light, kinda hard to photograph though.

This bow was almost firewood at one point, I over cut a tip and pretty much messed it up but was able to save it (in my opinion).

I had fun building this one, guess I got lucky on the tiller.

Nice bow, Coyote.  Did you back the bow?  I'm thinking not.
