Stunning finish. Wonder what he uses? Oil or varnish?
Can it be classed as a "warbow" at only 70# @32" with a grip? I'd call it a target bow I think. Not that it makes it any less beautiful! You must be overjoyed with it. I would be!

Just out of interest when you say 'British' which bowyers did you contact? I could have done one for you and it wouldn't have taken months!
Lovely bow anyway!

As I understant it the minimum weight for a Warbow is 75# at 32" which is what I asked for. I then had to choose between one of 80# and one of 70# and choose the lesser one as I know I would always be struggling to draw 80#. If someone wants to go to the trouble of testing it FINE. At 80" long it really is a bit long to be a Target bow. But I agree about the grip which I have now removed and the bow looks better for that.
The finish is oiled.

Sorry guys, but I kinda skimmed the text and paid full attention to pics.
Hm... so to make a warbow, it has to be at least 75@32 inches?
