nice all around lines and arc on the bow, the flipped tips flow well with the full draw.

Snedeker, Great Bow! First, I love Black locust, I think it gets a bad rap because of fretting and such. Second , that reminds me somewhat of a 40's style Static recurve, and Third the backing sounds cool! I have some strips of Pet Screen, Tougher than Nails! I have been thinking of using for backing. A cat or dog can hang on this screen and you can't tell it. Sometime SOON! Good shootin, Steve

Bullitt, the pet screen is fiberglass, so you might consider using some silk or something instead.  Thanks for the comment.

MaceG, thanks for pointing out the mention of silk.  Should have read hemp painted...
