Stix,
Guess I better pay closer attention as well....meant to comment that bend is a real beauty bud....that is what a "recurve" should look like sir.

  Jeeesh guy's your going to put the A-team out of business with these beauties... Nice curves Stix and brilliant idea on the rawhide ajooter...I guarantee we will see some more burning on rawhide in the future...

Stix when I look at your full draw photo again, I think there's enough beauty there for me to be satisfied with the aesthetics, no matter what else got added later.  I know it ain't over til it's over. Just sayin..... real good to look at!
I love it when a plan B comes together....

Stix, that is looking real good.

Ajooter, wow.  Every once in awhile I see an idea on this site that I love and realize I need to try that.  Your idea is one of them. It is something I haven't seen before.  What a great way to decorate a rawhide backed bow.  Beautiful.

Cool handle treatment with the rawhide ajooter, looks great.
That hackberry curve looks real nice Stix.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Started getting some finish on her...I'm loving the rawhide on the grip.   Not only does the branding give a nice aesthetic touch but it feels pretty cool too.

Nice,nice!  How thick(wide) is the handle?

Started the ebonizing process.  I've been practicing on scrap pieces of wood and I think it gives the grain an amazing appearance.

DC the handle isn't very wide, maybe 1 to 3/4 of an inch and relatively bulbous.

Did some wrapping at my transition areas.  May highlight the handle a little with some paint...really make that pattern pop.  I'm getting to the point where I'm going to have to name this girl...any suggestions fellas?
