The bows is a lot more wild than it looks in the photos. Peter has many great bows he has made - if only he would show them here!

I would say you are either a gluteon for punishment or hard up for bow wood I don't know which.
Great job on that one. Your craftsmanship and care are in evidence, thanks for sharing. Why don't you go ahead and bring on the other ones Mark mentioned. Your in good company, you can't post too much of your work. We look forward to it.  Danny

Thanks everybody for your complementary comments.
If wasn't for the inspiration from this website and all the excellent bows shown I would never have attempted anything like this.
