Nice bow. It has a cool primitive style and you did a heck of a job on it.

Awesome piece. I love the earth pigments and horse-hair tuft on this.

Thanks guys. It's a real honor to hear such comments from great bowyers.

Loon  I used the top of the branch as the tension side.

Thanks gentlemen

Simon - I don't know exactly what the blue is. I ordered the pigments on line. It's called natural earth paint.

No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Did you round the belly on this bow? Looks like a great shooter

I had to look up lenticular..  :-[
It means what I thought it meant but I didn't know that's what it was called.
