Thanks bubby and Badger, Crogacht, lebhuntfish, rps3, Will H, tattoo dave, Carson, bow 101, Greg, and TRACY.
Clint, thanks man.  I would like to nab that thing at some point for sure.  The number of high quality bows being turned out each month, it's a tough challenge as it should be.
Thanks Rich.  I'm following your build along.  Great stuff!
BTW, I left this bow shiny.  5 coats of Tru Oil and a top coat of gloss Poly.  My wife threatened to kill me if I covered the shine up on it.  I figure I can hit it with a matte finish a little later.

This bow has it all!  That's a bow of the month if I ever saw one.  You did it right brother - building it to perform first and then dressing it up is the right way to go.  I like the way the snake skins are cut short enough so you can see more of that yellow wood.  Really looks great Slimbob.

Nice Robert! Finish work looks spotless.

Superb bow Slimbob! Remember to leave that thing at home when we go camping. You'll wake to find it in small pieces if it's anywhere close to my sleeping bag!   Curtis
