I agree with Sidewinder, don't sell yourself short. Often the only thing that separates a nice bow from an AWESOME bow is decorations, but in the end, one doesn't shoot any better than the other.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Indiaman , Your bow looks great! I hope the Chancellor sees your bow and changes the bow hunting laws there ;)

That's a great looking bow. The handle and those overlays look great on that locust.

Hi,
Nice job. I like the pistol grip handle, and the contrasting wood looks great. Your tiller is excellent, for a nonbending handle. too bad there is no bow hunting in Germany!

Like everybody already said - great looking bow. I've never cut any BL - just can't get over how much it resembles osage.
