The skin on the back was from a fabric store that I got while with my wife.I am always looking for easy and cheap.The fades are 2in.
the bow was from a stave that I decrowned.I know I didnt need to decrown i was just messing with designs.It is holding over an inch of reflex.

I think it looks great!  How did you flip the tips on it steam or dry heat? I can never get hickory to bend with dry heat.  i love the backing too.  Can't wait to see it drawn  :)

Clean lines and very elegant.  So that backing you put on is cloth?  I think it looks great - what type of fabric do you think it is?

Sulphur I am not sure about the fabric, it looks like some type of cloth but it has a texture to it.
Josh I just steamed for about 45 min. and quickly bent on my form.
Here is the full draw pic.I need to work on my photography.Thanks for the comments.
