I like the skins wrapping the skins.  That's a cool idea.  Your bows can be used as pictures in the dictionary for the words "perfect tiller".

That's one cool looking bow.  Those skins look great too.  Did you use any stain or is it natural.  Love those simple sticks man.

Sweeet........looks snappy,  how does it shoot?

Id compare it to an osage bow of similar style big guy. Decent speed and decent energy. It will surely take out a whitetail if asked to!

Very nice looking bow.   Love the skins.  How did you trim them
 around  the handle?  With a thin strip crosswise?

I thought long and hard about that Russ. I didn't want any wraps anywhere on this bow and couldn't think of a good way to finish the skin ends. What you see are the edge trimmings I cut off the sides. I just glued them on as you see and sealed it, I like how it finished off.

sweet bow, got a taste of real wood huh?  ;)

You better watch yourself young man! :)

Ive used so much different wood now I cant even remember which are the good one which are bad? Match your expectations to the wood and they all come out nice.
