The transition art between skin and wood worked out great...really pops.

I think if I owned that bow I might learn to like it. ;D ;D
Kidding aside that sucker is a beautiful bow Weylin, your attention to detail really shines in that one.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Beautiful finish work! I love the look of the sturgeon skin. It reminds me of the starry sky before the dawn of a big hunt.

Definitely. I've seen a couple of sturgeon skin backed bows, and they are always really beautiful. Nice work, Weylin

Another BOW OF THE MONTH!  Maybe Bow of the Year!  I love every thing about that bow my friend!  Just AWESOME!   As usual.

fantastic looking bow! I've put the word out to the boys at work if they can get ahold of some skins for me. Spearing is underway here.

very beautiful bow, and a very nice idea to finish the sides of the backing with such a precise painting.
I like it a lot!
