Absolutely beautifully done. The recurves look great, the length is perfect for the full effect of the sinew,and the skins for camouflage on the hunt.  Prefect set up all wrapped in great finish work that any artist would be proud of. Congratulations.

YOU MADE IT !!!
Seriously, I don't think I've seen this done more radical!

BOM?? ... well ... PA is sort of the same thing than PB... it's mostly about the curves anyway...  >:D >:D >:D

So first of all I want to say thank you to everyone for the comments....they may have come too soon though  :'(  while stringing the bow today I heard a crackin noise...i got the string off and didn't find any cracks in the wood but the sinew/skin started to lift right on the curve of the bottom limb  :-[  :-[ so now I have to try and repair this...Im thinking a sinew wrap or hemp wrap?  will either of these save her?

LOL thanks for your support medicinewheel! Im gonna try pumping the small area full of super glue and then wrap the area in sinew...(then the other recurve too just to be safe)...I think it should be ok, Im just glad it happened while i was stringing it and not shooting it!  I'll post pics of the repair job as soon as I get it done...Im starting to think this bow likes me working on it...it doesn't seem to want to be finished yet   >:( >:(

Good luck on your repair.. Remember to let it sit and dry awhile before stringing it again, especially if you are using sinew... I hope it works I really like this bow!    :)  -josh
