Thank for the kind remarks guys, means a lot to me coming from all of you.
... and Rich thanks for the good laugh I got from your response.
That rawhide handle I've only done a couple other times in the past but I may do more of as I too like the simple look of it.
Forgot until now that the raw hide was also a gift from another fine gentleman here, Blackhawk. Thanks Chris I've gotten alot
of use out of that hide split in the last few years. A bow like this is always kinda special to me when different elements of it came from friends within this community. Anytime anyone gives me a stave or materials I try and do my best to make something nice from it. When using my own staves and such I can sometimes get a little careless with it not be to upset if I get bad results.
