Ended up putting off the handle wrap until tonight.  The leather isn't quite dry yet, but here's what the handle looks like.





Need to add the rest and then it's ready to send.  Probably will go out on Wed.

That looks really nice. the handle color contrasts well with the rest of the bow. I'm sure who ever gets that bow will be stoked.

Wow!  Being stuck with my phone as my only internet access I haven't been following much on here so I've been missing all the beauties being made.  Glad I caught this one.  Sweet bow George!

Thanks.  Added a turkey feather wind indicator, rests and the bow is now done.  Rushed home from choir practice tonight and got some  pictures barely before the light was gone. 







Had hoped to get it shipped tomorrow, but some hog butchering is going to move it back a day.

Beautiful bow.  Once again, you've turned a horrible stave into a work of art.  Well done!
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
