That's a very nice bow. What specie of dogwood is it?

Plain, simple and amazing all at the same time. Beautiful bow.

What is the arrow rest made from?

that is a real nice compliment Mark, thank you  (-S
The shelf is from translucent cow horn, as the nocks are.
I dont like the look of the shelf. But I just need something to put the arrow for consistency, either a leather grip or a pistol grip or something like that or a least some kind of mark. cheers

Great looking bow Simon!  Unbraced profile is really beautiful. The stain job turned out nice and full draw looks awesome. Well done!
