WOW!!!Bravo that is as cool as it gets rite there

[mikekeswick]

Thats an interesting bow....and an excellent finish!
You should be careful not to step down through the rings on the back when doing takedowns, keeping one ring intact all the way into the tube is the way to go. It's not too much of an issue at the tips because there is much lower stress and no bending but still risky.
It would be a shame to put so much work into a bow like this and then have it split at a ring violation.

Very well done!  This bow makes you fall in love with wood in the hands of an artist!  Joe

Fantastic bow.Very unique piece of wood.I've never heard of it.You are at a level beyond my criticism.You are your own worst critic on this one.The only thing I've seen close to this would be an elderberry bow with the hollowed out limbs.Beautiful job.

Golden Chain = Golden Rain (both makes sense when you see the flowers) = laburnum.

To OP...fierce bow mate:-). I dont get the hollowed out design (such thin ridges to take so much compression, and then the stability question)...but you did it and I can only imagine the effectivness.

Very nice....awsome finish:-)

Cheers
