That's a good lookin' weapon Pat, just looks like a smooth shooter and easy on the eyes, too- nice work (as always).  8)

Yep, like Steve said easy on the eyes and nice as always. I like the grip looks like a good steady purchase even when wet.    Kenneth

Another good thing about the grip, it should keep moisture from getting trapped under it like with a leather grip.

Wow Pat! Awesome as usual! If'n he gets lonely you can always send him to visit his distant cuzin here in Mo. ::)...I hunted with the "Leopard" tissue bow all last season in the rain and snow and the grip and tissue were never a problem at all...still holdin tight and dry....However the dern thing did scare off all the deer :D....Brian

Another fine bow Pat :) That tissue paper sure makes for a interesting and different back eh.
My last 10 bows have all been cordage grips, to me they are more comfortable and durable
than leather, and ya don't have to worry about moisture :)

Postman, The rings were so thin there was no way to chase one ring...at least for me. That is why I added the rawhide backing under the tiger striped tissue paper.   
Thanks everyone.   And Phil, I am the lady!  :-*   well, only on Friday nights. ;D     Pat

Pat- That is a wild looking bow. I like the way you matched up the string colors to the bow.  Tiller looks great. I have heard you mention the Massey finish before.  What is the ratio of epoxy to acetone?

Very cool, elegant bow. And just a bit of trivia about Kipling, you should take the bow up here to Brattleboro, Vermont, about 15 minutes drive from where I live. Kipling lived there, and wrote The Jungle Book there.

His house is now a museum. Pretty strange imagining the guy in jodpurs and a pith helmet tramping around the wilds of Southern Vermont.
