That's beautiful. I've never seen ostrich skins used before.

Amazing work for a fiftieth bow, let alone your second.

This is the beauty of the PA family right here.  Those of us that started building bows 25 years ago built many  bows that all looked pretty much the same, or like those of the people we worked with.  It took years to master the cool backings and finishes.  Now, with all the information at your finger tips here, people are turning out beautiful and unique bows right out of the box.  Excellent finish work.  I'm anxious to see the money shot.
