I really like the matching arrows.

All I can say is WOW! I think sturgeon is my favorite backing yet since I got one of Keenan's sturgeon backed beauties (Thanks again Keenan) Now If I can just get it out of my son's hands LOL. I love the starry universe look to it. Pinecone tells us about your little serving/wrapping tool. Never seen one like that before. Is that homemade or something you can buy somewhere?

very well done. that is one sweet looking bow and I love the arrows to match. when I do my rawhide, or sturgeon backing i use self adhering ace bandages, they have the tension and when you wrap with the non adhesive side down, it doesnt stick to the backing  bad and it keeps the tension so there is no need to add the rubber, it also doesnt slip or leave a bad pattern on the backing. just a thought. congrats on the great build and thanks for sharing.

Impressive Bryce, great job.  Those arrows really compliment the bow and I love the silk string addition.  Can't wait to see this in action.

Well JJ we all have our own way if doin stuff :)
I use the inner tube bc I got tired of having to go back and fix bubbles and what not, especially with cherry bark, bc its rather stiff. This way, for me, is good assurance that it stuck down. The ace bandage work great no argument there! :)

Thanks Dan-O well she was in action on a cat/wabbit hunt a week or so ago. The whole bow was literally frozen. I was standing in the cold one morning rubbing the belly trying to wake her up. When drawing the bow I could hear the sinew stretching and she was pulling ALOT of extra weight.
