Beautiful bow Manny. Really like that tiller, and the weight ;)

You ran the backing under the overlay- how's that work? And how wide is your handle?

Sweet looking bow Manny. That's interesting that you glue the overlays right over the backing. I never thought to do it that way -  I'll have to try that.

Thanks Gordon


Yeah kegan, once you've decided to back a stave is better to do it before the overlays are glued on, the transition than is much better  ;D

Thanks Manny ;D! Maybe for once I'll get a bow backed with cloth that doesn't look like a dog's been chewing on it :D

A always nice bow. Like the silk backing and the curves. I thought it took me a long time to make one.
