Wow! Beautiful bow. Love how the node is smack in the middle of the handle. The handle looks real slick too, and everything about the tips is pretty.

Bow looks like a screamer, and the finish work is spot on.  Excellent.

Thank you guys, I wouldn't be where I am without PA and all the talented people that post here.

Eric, I used Unibond 800.  Honestly I feel the glue lines are lacking, and it doesn't help that the catalyzer was the dark type, which makes the glue stand out too much.
