Very elegant bow.  The wood is Apulia leiocarpa?

Nice work!! The tiller at full draw is a bit hard to see with the back light. Your finish work and tip overlays are suoer.

Very nice I really like the clean lines and the tiller looks great.

Great pictures of a great bow. Need a different full draw, though.
