Very nice. I love when people like you make a bow like this, because the people who wanna keep yakkin about how "any bow that even remotely reminds one of a horn bow is impossible without horn" are always so quite on threads like these. And that is because they don't know any real masters of working wood. (like yourself and 100s of other members of this forum). Gorgeous bow.

Looks awesome. Bet the sinew helps a ton. I think it's got a few more inches in it though.  ;D

Wow, I am amazed that you were able to get hickory to bend like that. Did you temper the belly?

Still trying to get my head around Sinew...

I also would love to see a Build Along some day if you are willing  :)
