Thanks Aaron. Ya I was trying to get the opposite of this effect and have the dark dye down in the low spots of the bow but got the reverse I then tried to rub it off and start over but liked the effect it had left so I went with it. The toasted Color of the back is left over from the cook as it was a darker roast then usual. I used leather dye and applied it with a rag and rubbed it hitting the high points. Thanks for checking it out.

Many thanks Airkah! Very kind. I’ll post a couple pics of the reflexed profile. I’ll repost couple more with daylight tomorrow. It’s holds about just around 4” give or take. It is 68.5” long and 1 3/8” at widest point. Tips very narrow to reduce as much weight as possible. Every time I shoot this thing I half expect it will blow up but so far so good. It’s mass is just under 600grams.
Thanks for looking.

Absolutely brilliant. I'm confident if I tried to pull that design off it would blow up lol.
You really have a talent for these high performance bows.

Real nice looking unstrung limb profile especially with it being as narrow as it is. Great looking piece of work.
Mike

Thanks mike! It was a wonky narrow piece of wood but it survived.
