Wow!  You have got some skills.  If it shoots like it looks it ought to be a killer.  Fine looking bow.

Saying that is one of the best bows you have ever made is saying a mouthful.  I have seen a lot of the bows you have posted here and they are all fine pieces of workmanship, but this one is one sexy beast.  Everything about this bow is nothing short of amazing, the handle, the hooks, the nocks, and the finish are all spot on beautiful.  Well done, well done indeed.

Is the handle working slightly under that built up section? Is that cork?

WOW Mr. Bad, that stick looks super sharp.
Like the profiles, the excecution and your finish work. Looks perfect to me.
The f/d is awesome!

Just came back again, forgot to say: the front profile is my favorite. I like the willow leaf shape, pure elegance.
