Thanks for the comments guys.

Darn it Holten I thought the design was all mine :'(  I guess old Solomon was right about there being "Nothing new under the sun."

According to the Laws of Thermodynamics, neither matter nor energy can be destroyed, but only transmuted.  Ergo, all matter and energy has been around all along, meaning there is literally nothing new under the sun.  Nor as we are learning, not a whole lotta new stuff coming down the pike in the manner of bow design. 

So that leaves us with execution, something you did with flair, panache, and style all rolled up in one.  In Bubba-speak, you done good.  Love it.

Oh, and one last bit, you did finish it with pollyurathane, right?

Man how do you fit all that in a normal sized cranium?  :o Actually I've never seen a pic of you so that is an assumption on my part. ;)

I like your polly bow jon, from the dimensions, draw weight and bend it must be a hard hitter I would guess.

Ooooh, crested arrows to match the paintjob on the bow?  That would be pretty fancy-pants.
