Very nice bow!
I like the aesthetic in every bit of it from the combinations of wood to the nock details and tiller.
... and the silencers really complete the picture of a girlie bow  :D

Beautiful bow and outstanding craftsmanship. Something to aspire to.
Full draw looks good. Appears you need to make another though as the little one in the full draw photo is drawing an air bow ;D

First, I do not make laminated bows, so I cannot comment on tillering or probability of performance, etc....but as a guy that spends copious time finishing out my stick bows, I feel I am qualified to state the aesthetics of that bow are in the top 1%.  Wow, such wonderful attention to detail, blending of colors and textures, and attention to detail!  Medicinewheel, anyone that gets one of your bows is fortunate indeed. 

If that girlie bow fit my draw and was hunting weight I would carry it with pride in the woods and the deer should watch their step!

Thanks Scott.

Nate it's expensive, that's for sure, and I have never seen it in bigger pieces, but it wasn't a big deal to find it.

That is one beautiful bow!  I really like the way the tips are done, very nice detail!  I could wish to get that good at building a bow!  Also, it's a very good draw weight for archery competition in SCA shoots.
