 Absolutely beautiful work. Inspiring.
 It seems that the curves are made up of an acute bend a few inches from the tip, then straightening towards the tips. Is this done to ensure string lift off at all times and and avoid the possibility of the  string popping off the the bow at the grain bend near that one tip?

That entire ensemble is top shelf. The bow is pretty as a picture and the arrows take it to another level. I love making bows. I dread making arrows. You did them both proud.

Very nice set! Great idea to use the snake skin left overs for the arrows!!
