Very cool Jim.   That’s a pristine back there.  Love to see more of this bow.

I made that bow for a small  friend of my daughter's back in 2006. The bend is not perfect, but it had some unstrung curve to the lower limb and I didn't try to steam it out. As far as I know, the bow is still serviceable. I  don't have a picture of the leather grip.
