Very cool looking bow. If you miss with all your arrows, I think you can kill something with that one very pointy tip!!  ;D What did you make the grip from? It's obviously some sort of snake, but what?

Another very nice bow, Frank but I'm not surprised.  8)  Those Holmy tips are cool too as is your tip treatment.

Everybody thanks for the nice comments!

Just wish I had some sunbeams when I took the pictures to show off the nice tone in tone effects of the permanganate dye; form afar the bow looks almost solid black, though.
The snake skin I used for the handle most likely is Rock Python leather which was sort of difficult to mount, not stretchy at all, rips apart right away when you try to sew it. A well, good ol' superglue...  ;D

Scott, adb, Pat: the bow shoots with no handshock at all, and I believe narrow tips are the path to travel to improve performance.
I like the tips pointy on the upper limb, bit shorter and bulky on the lover limb.

Thanks again!

Frank, that is up and down and side to side (I don't know what that means either, but it just sounded right so...) a gorgeous bow.  Superb tips, great dye job, and fantastic profile.  Great work.  Get that full draw pic up; suspense is killing us!! :)

Barrage, I believe it means 'all around', just like Okie says, except you are trying to be more ... specific......or detailed........... poetic, maybe......? well....
Thanks anyway, thanks Okie!



Everybody: I didn't post a bow in a while, and I must say it's really nice to get some nice comments on my work, again! - So, thank you all for that!

Very nice job. Hats off!

But, I'm annoyed about that I saw the pics first,
before bow in real.

I´ll come for a coffee and kneeling down!

SEHR SCHÖN!

Medicinewheel, I couldn't help but take another look at your photos this morning, and like before Wow!
What did you wrap around the bow I'm guessing eight to ten inches from the tips, it looks nice. I think
that kind of wrap would help me cover a lateral heat crack on the belly of an Ash bow I've made.
