That is a nice looking bow.  Its interesting how you bent the recurves on sharp angles.  Justin

Nicely done. How thick is the backing and how did you acquire the brazilian cherry. Nice combination of woods.

The backin started a 1/8" but I sanded that down a ways.The backing comes from the same cabinet shop I got the ash from.Didn't know If it would work for backing but the grain seemed to run real straight so I thought I would try it,sure is a beautiful wood the pictures do not do it justice. thanks Hammertime.
