Nicely done - especially for only your second bow.

Thanks again for the compliments! I feel my ego inflating dangerously! :D

I rounded off the edges with sandpaper. Do you think they are round enough now, or should I still remove more?
Also I polished the entire bow with a wine bottle, took me a few hours, but it looks and feels much better now, all shiny  8)

A few more pics.

I am looking at how that grain crosses the limb and wondering if it should have been backed?  Someone correct me if I am wrong...
