That bow is ridiculous!

Did you process the stingray leather yourself or buy it / trade for it already tanned?

No, I did purchase that piece (leather) at a flee market

Wish such bows could be drawn to 33"... or can they? Don't try! But I would really love one like this at my draw length... ..
I really like it, the painting and everything

With sufficiently heavy arrows, this would perform better than without a backing

I'm pretty sure 30" is possible, but not 33". Are you a warbow shooter, or are your arms hanging down to the knees? ;)



Many thanks again, Gents I really appreciate your comments!

Wow, I love the layout of this bow, and the art work is the icing on the cake.  I really like that you added your sketches of the design in your photo's.  It shows how idea's are developed into something tangible.

Well done!

Thanx again folks, glad you like her!
Believe me it's a pleasure to shot this little stick -  smooth draw out to 28. I like her a lot.
