Ryan that is saawwweeeet bro..very nice...you sure like to cut your nocks in deep huh..LOL....question on the back sinew apparently you didn't shred it and just laid it in sheets correct....man that is a pretty job....I got a few really straight ERC staves and you just lit a fire under my butt to get one done....

I missed it too, great bow!  Nice sinew job, actually the nicest I've seen in a very long time.  Those limb tips should be real light, I can see how it'd have great performance and shoot nicely.

Nice job. I especially like the handle and fades of red. I think it gives it a unique look....and it's fast to boot!!

What Dazv said.  It looks like clear glass.
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

   That is a beautiful Cedar bow. You be careful though. I wonder if a guy would get a cedar stave with about 1/4" sap would hold the bow together. Kind of like Yew in a sense. Dean
