I missed it too, great bow!  Nice sinew job, actually the nicest I've seen in a very long time.  Those limb tips should be real light, I can see how it'd have great performance and shoot nicely.

Nice job. I especially like the handle and fades of red. I think it gives it a unique look....and it's fast to boot!!

   That is a beautiful Cedar bow. You be careful though. I wonder if a guy would get a cedar stave with about 1/4" sap would hold the bow together. Kind of like Yew in a sense. Dean
