But all jokes aside I left the file marks, no paint, and the natural look of the bamboo, for two reasons the first one is I liked the weathered look 8). Now the second reason is kind of sappy but I think it works. How I see it is a good bow doesn’t need all the polish and sparkles to be a good bow I mean it draws nice and it’s only 45 pounds so it won’t overpower the person using it. The tiller is also good as you have noticed so it's a good bow underneath all the muck but I believe that is what I am trying to say.
