Looks great! I really love the contrast between the dark back and the lighter sides! Makes me think of a vintage lemonwood bow but with a more modern design.

Thanks y'all. You are welcomed to it, Dave.
Selfbowman, she is smooth and shoots nice. I have no way of checking speed.
 Airkah, I hadn't thought of that comparison but can see what you mean. I wanted only the back stained and with a sunburst style stain. I think it turned out nice.  Is there a baby yet?
 BTW, after I put 25 arrows through her today I unbraced her and she still held 2 3/4" of reflex.

Thanks Pat.  It looks great and is an inspiration to many.   :OK
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...

I really like how it came out too.

There is a baby! She's happy and healthy and almost 3 months old.  :)

Great looking work Pat. Holding that reflex well. Starburst dye job looks real good.

Beautiful Pat. Agree with Dave about the contrast. Very well done.
