Love it. What did you dye the wood with?

Fiebings leather dye. The whole bow was stained with saddle tan then the tips and handle were faded into black. I also stained the back black but wiped it off before drying to add more contrast to the ridges.

That is one beautiful bow. Love the dye job, too. Excellent work.

Knocked it out of the park! Nothing about that that I don’t like a lot!

Hard to say anything that does it justice. Your consistency in your work is extraordinary. Perfect bend. Love the grip and love how the handle flows. Great work - as always.

Did you heat treated it? All I heard about hickory is, it is prone to string follow and your design is very slim but limbs are straight.

Looks very good. Gonna make one from English oak.

Great looking hickory bow!  I really like the stain job and handle wrap. You make some really nice bows!
