The bow is selaed with bear fat and bees wax. paint is natural paint pigments. Ill post full draw later on :) hope you guys like it.

Nice replication of that bow Cesar, looks great and bends beautifully. I like using that book for ideas also, spent many hour looking at the different styles within that volume and trying to decide which one I would like to replicate next. Great work on yours man.
