That's a great looking bow.  I like the unerring profile a lot.

Thanks a lot Guys!  I am so happy with this bow.

It came out realy nice although i hat a slight problem with it. It came out so short because i had to cut of about 4" or so after first time bracing it. One of the tipps was bending away sideways
I still have a lot of motivation for experimenting with other wood an other dimensions, thickness, of the Boo. The Bamboo ist as thin as can be on this bow.

absolutely beautiful! what is she glued up with?

Thats UHU Endfest 300.  ;) I guess you dont know this product under this name. It's a 2 components epoxid gleu with enough time to work before it starts to harden, think ist 90 minutes. It takes 24 hours to harden at room tempreture

I bought the bamboo in a Bowshop thats near my place.

Excellent work, and a lovely bend to that one.  Anyone here would be proud to have made that.
