That's a beauty!!! Did you use steam on those bends or what. I love that handle wrap.

Very nice Lukasz.  It does look like it would have a lot of string tension.  How is stability?

Very nice! I've been planning to make one very similar to that but lower draw weight and out of red oak.
Those are some nice lines and curves, very well done!

Very nice.  I really like the style.  The reflexed design is sweet.  The brass is a very nice touch.

love the shape of that bow, how do you think that design would work with a higher draw weight maybe 70-80? i would love to see that thing shoot ;D
