Thanks Leonwood, that's quite a compliment considering the beautiful bows you entered. I'm thinking it's going to be a pretty good battle of the bows here. There are some really nice ones to choose from.

I love the slick black at the handle and tips. The red definitely brinks it all together. It reminds me of a snake, and not just because it has those crazy lateral curves. I love that sort of thing, but they tend to make my bow twist in my hand cuz I don't get the tips and handle just right. I bet it shoots like a dream. (SH)

Thanks! I had the same problem of bows twisting in the hand with a few others, somehow on this one I got lucky and the tips and handle line up perfectecly when strung. Did use some heat for that in combination with a belly toast.

Successful end to challenging project. Finishing decisions look great to my eye. Congrats!

Nice one, she's beautiful. Stefan
