Wow, she's a beauty!  I'm going to try that type of inlay for the strike plate on my next one.  Love everything about your bow.

Very nice looking bow.  What kind of finish did you put on it?

I do 10 coats of tru oil on the back 7 on the belly. 0000 steel wool every third coat to knock it down and even it. Then, the last coat I do a kind of french polish with a tiny bit of oil on a micro fiber towel. Gives it a nice luster without being overly shiny. :)

And thank you to everyone for all the kind words. Very grateful.

My only issue is that I don't know how the finish will hold up with this type of arrow strike plate. I'll keep you posted on how it works out for me. :)

Great work as always Cloudfeather! I really like those ebony tips, Ryan Gill does something similar. Nice job blending those skins in around them. I'm putting that style Brazillian kingwood  on my current Bodark selfbow.

Thanks, Bob. Someone else mentioned a similarity with this bow and some of his. It's funny, I'm friends with him on FB and, when he complimented my work, I outright admitted that I probably stole an idea or two from him. That goes for a lot of other guys on this site as well. :P

That's a very nice looking bow. You should be tickled ;D. Did you stain the rawhide black?
