Very nice, Mike.

Does this one get a paint job on the back?

I thought so.  ::)

Any tips on the kind of paint you use and how you seal it afterwards would be much appreciated. I've seen a couple you've done in the past and really admire the work.

Eddie...you asked for it...so here is the first coat of Stain...I am going to wet sand it with Atain tomorrow...then let it dry...and soak it with Danish Oil...then Bear Grease

GMC.....I usually use Artists Paints from Michaels...or Hobby Lobby...but I have done them with Alcohol and Pigments too...I think the Pigments are morenatural and subdued...but I like the Artists Paints better....JMO

NONE!!   They are a Pain In The Ass to Tiller...compared to a D Bow...an especially a Reflexed paddle Bow...I just like the Way they look...and feel...they are a really cool Bow the way the Limbs taper and swell...just a really Artsy Fartsy Bow...thats all...... >:D

That's the same thing I was wondering; the thickness taper must be all jacked up with that style.  I want to try a reflex/deflex Wampanoag/Andaman/Mollegabet hybrid mess, but I'm not sure my tillering skills are up to it.  I probably should see if I can tiller a classic Sudbury before I tackle that one.
