Thanks everybody.   I am real excited about how curvy she turned out.

It will be fun for me to compare how the bow feels now as compared to the old longbow configuration.  The weather hasn't been cooperating here in Western Washington, but maybe this weekend.  If she doesn't blow up, I'll get back to finishing her.  I have been messing around with a Vine Maple stave to help me with my impatience!   ::)

I spent the summer just shooting this bow off my thumb, and decided to add a grip and arrow rest this Fall.  Since I have never worked with horn, I decided to add some tips as well.
