That is a very nice bow, beautiful skin job. Thank you for posting! If I respectfully could though, I would like to ask if the upper limb is stronger than the lower limb? It seems like it is to me in both draw and brace pictures, especially the braced picture though? Is the picture just screwin with my eyes?

 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Well I was just curious anyway. She is a beauty of a bow either way!

Nice tips on that girl!  The rattler skin corset really sets her off!  Josh

Nice! The wood is marvelous, look at that colour.. There's plenty of walnut trees round where I live, I'll keep my eyes open for any of that. The contrast with the skins is real good  8)
Don't shoot!

I like it Soy. The darkness of walnut is very appealing and the skin feather transition is way cool. Good job.   Danny
