Great looking walnut bow. Cherry bark looks good on pretty much anything. I agree, character makes things tough

Looks great Josh, and having applied cherry bark once myself I understand what a pain it can be. Looks like it was worth the effort.

Thank you kindly fellas!  It is indeed all heartwood.  I chased a ring on a belly split.  A lot of you that have never used walnut may be wondering if it really needs to be as overbuilt as this bow is?  No...it does not.  Momma just likes a really long bow.  To get the best out of it, I had to adjust the tiller a bit.  It shoots nice enough with the adjustment, that I'm considering making myself one of similar specs for 3d shoots.  Thanks for looking!   Josh

What dye job Pearly?  I didn't dye anything on it.  I do have some French red sealer/filler that I considered using, but what you see is the natural color with tru-oil applied and nothing else.  Thanks for the kind words though.  Josh
