How beautiful a bow can be!
Beauty at its best: great look, great performance.
Looking at this bow, I can't understand why people are wasting their time with plastic bows!

The Rosewood is a beautiful wood with striking grain and makes a good looking bow.  It's also very oily and with its high density makes it a good wet weather hunting bow.  I've used one of these when it was raining out and it didn't suffer any effects from the moisture

Very nice work Mark. Looks very smooth and fast.
"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

Another rocket launcher and pretty, as usual.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
