Very nice bow.Congrats.Some of my hickory looks like that after the bark is pulled off.Long humped up lines running longitudally along the length.Really leaves the imagination go wild on a finish. Looks like a person just plucked it right out of the tree.Ala natural.

Yeah man that'll work. The back is way cool and that streek in the handle makes you want to leave it naked without a wrap. Love it.   Danny

Bent, Knots Thank you

Jodocus it was to pretty to cover :)

Bryce  ;)

Zion..... I don't think I mentioned it in the post but I did use a light stain made with alcohol and instant coffee to define all the stuff going on on the back of the bow.

Beadman it's kind of like Christmas....  Ya don't know what's under the wrap ???

Thank you Rob and Danny I couldn't bring myself to wrap it :)

I did put a thin piece of Beaver Tail on it for a strike plate////  it's put on with contact cement so it will come off easy...

Ya, that really is an amazing piece of wood. I don't know what I was talking about those nocks being gorgeous, that whole bow is gorgeous. Just wicked.
