Awesome bend and I love the finish, especially how the black fades to the light brown, looks really cool!

Very nice.  I made the very same bow some 15 years ago, even down to the same wood as the museum piece

Thanks Marc, would love to see pics of the birch one you made. I think I remember seeing a birch Powhatten bow of your making that really impressed me but not the one of this design.

Very handsome.  I like making "replica" bows the most, myself.  This one looks great!  I got a couple pieces of the buckthorn from Cody, myself.  Starting to think it's time is coming up...

It's kinda ironic that you made such a native styled bow out of an invader species of wood!  Looks awesome...
