Nice contrast between the back and belly. I like the looks of it. Looks like a fun little shooter. (even if it is 'sinister' handed >:D)
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Nice bow!  Tiller looks great and I reallly love the brace profile.  Cool that it's a lefty too.  :)

Did you stain the back, or is that natural?  It looks great!

Man soy bean if your title wasnt so lame I mighta' caught this earlier! Nice curves going there. I love how it lays right flat unbraced. Thats the true sign of a good wooden bow pal.

That anter handle is a ingenious. Did you come up with that idea? The bow has fine flowing curves  :laugh:
