Your finish work is very good, I enjoyed seeing your version of the handle wrap.  I really enjoy making this style of bow, also.  I think they are just incredible shooters and I like the way they feel in the hand.  Your bow turned out very nicely, way to go!

Great looking bow. Did you splice the handle or just reflex it during glue up?

Very nice. That's one to be proud of, both for the maker and the one who gets to shoot it.

Very impressive glue lines. You might redo the full draw picture for BOM. Shame to have such a nice bow not really standout because of shop clutter.

I like the limb tips, what are they ?

Also what type of glue did you use to hold the limb tips on ?

Thanks

@old bow
ok - i will take a better picture
@pdwight
the tipreinforcment is made of a material wich is similar to micarta and glued on with "smooth on" epoxy  i always  make the tips from this material cause it allows me to use fast-flight strings  on this bow its a 12 strand string
