Wow great bow, you are truly a master crafter.

I second that. Now that is a character bow.
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Thank you very much my friends. As always, I tried to get maximum from the wood. I shot it and it shoot hard, not a toy. :)
I spent a lot of time without internet and often I dont have it. I see a lot of great new bows here, I missed them all. Tommorow have to make closer look on all of them. :D I am glad to see that we all make.

Missed this one!
Great bow and excellent work again my friend!
I know how difficult it could be to tiller such wavey staves, you have done a great job! My favorite for BOM.
