Great looking bow, the wood grain really looks nice with the stain. Could you include some pics of the full handle/fades area, I want to get a better feel for how you blended that section of the bow together. :)

Manny I may have lost some but not much.
 Gregg ,sorry I no longer have the bow,the handle is one piece, there was heartwood on the heel of the bow that would of looked good if left natural.
 Thanks all for the compliments.

Nice bow, distinctive handle.  Especially the lower end where you brought the belly up the fade flat.  Was there something on the end of that fade?  And the urethane looked very nice, mine never come out that smooth.  Did you hit it with steel wool in between coats?
