Thanks for all the compliments again!
Working on the sister stave of this one now. It is even narrower and has splits on both tips so lets see if I can turn it onto a shooter.
Forgot to mention the finish. It is just a few layers of danish oil. After about 8 or 9 coats I gently rub the bow with very fine steelwool to get the satin finish.

Cheers,

Leon

Sweet tiller. Great finish work. A real eye catcher from all angles. Well done.

Excellent work, profiles are sweet and finish looks great.
The colors and the gentle decoration reminds me on Japan ... cannot say why.

Thanks Simon! This was one of those 'what the heck, I will see how it turns out' builds. Funny it reminds you of Japan. They have loads of mulberry there;-) Would love to go there sometime though.
