That is a stunning bow Bryce. That is an impressively great looking bend, that is quite the feat of bowyery given the nature of that sexy piece of wood.  I think that beast just wants a heavy arrow ;)
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Awesome bow, dude! Glad to see you back in the saddle. I can't wait to have that one in my hands. It's hard to fully appreciate with just pictures.

Nice...love roller coaster humps. That's a beauty.

I'm pretty sure the horn turns white as it fades into the wood and that the string groove is in the horn. I can see what made you think that though.

Saw this come across my phone on Facebook earlier today and almost threw my phone away.  I coulda swore the screen was damaged when I looked at the bow!
