It looks great James. I cant wait to see your next work of art. How about not making us wait so long for your next post I know your making more than you are posting.

Wicked! 
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

I'm like Pappy, but glad I didn't miss it all together. That is a beauty, everything about it. A really cool looking skin on it, too.

Stunning.  That's really a work of art.  I've always been a fan of that Indo-Persian crab bow design, particularly when it's unstrung and the limbs are practically crossing each other.  It really conjures up images of the Mughal dynasty and the Taj Mahal for me.
