Thanks for the nice coments everyone  :)  I'm not sure if i'll camo this one up or not for Turkey hunting :-\ I mostly hunt out of a blind......I put a handle wrap of Hemp on her last night. I first built up belly and back with some leather.

And the unbraced profile. I have a little string follow on this bow, but it's the best one to date  :)

Great looking bow.  Those nocks are sweet.  I'm too chicken to get that daring with my nocks.  Very good job, the tiller looks great.
