Absolutely fantastic—the artwork, the overlays, everything. Nothing too loud and nothing too quiet. What a gift, I can’t imagine how cool she’ll feel with that bow in her hands.

That young lady will have a lot of envious friends!  Very nice!

Well done sir. I'm sure it will be one of the young ladies most prized possessions.

Beautiful finish work, bub.

Your attention to details like the tips, grip, and decorating all show and the bow looks great.  :OK
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...

That's beautiful. Those lightweight bows can be finicky to tiller. Great job.
