Very nice bow. Looks like it is a few centuries old already (and in a good way, that is!)

The paint job was quite easy, Simons have a good description of doing this on his website, I used tung oil instead of shellac. The oil bleeds out on the wood which gives you that blurry look. My camera loves the 1.8/50 lens for unfocusing background  :OK

Basically like said earlier about tiller wood needs a streamlined equally strained look to it.
Looks like you accomplished this.
Congrats on a very nice bow.
Good eyes! Yes the tips got a bit narrowed for string alignment.
