Beautiful bow Carson, so that is sapwood on top of the horn overlays?

Snag, glad you were able to get out with it and do some quality stumpin already.  Sounds like it is shooting well for you and that you are happy with it. That is all I could ask for!   :)
I think the cork under the cane might be why it is so dead in the hand on release.

Thanks Greg
Thank you Hamish, I don't know about perfection...must be the camera lens distortion  ;D
Thanks Pappy
Thanks Matt, I am liking cane as a handle wrap more and more. Nice find!
Thank you adams89
Thanks Falcon, and yes, that is sapwood on top of the horn on the tips. I just cut the tip off at a n angle, and saved the cut-off piece to go on top of the horn.
