GlisGlis:
awesome bows!!
as far as decoration plain rawhide is enough attractive to me
I like you pencil base too but I'd do it in a very freehand way
In my mind this kind of decoration has to be less perfect to be perfect  )P(

Thanks GlisGlis.  I know what you mean!  I tend to suffer from ocd when it comes to decorating my bows.  It will not be perfect for sure but I have to be careful not to over think it and just start decorating or painting.  I’ll use the pencil marks as my reference anyway.

Those two both turned out great, Dave. I’m sure however you finish them up they will look Amazing.
I’m currently working on a 65” heartwood yew recurve that I plan to sinew-back. Would you be able to let me know a couple details?
- what are the profile dimensions, and is it a straight pyramid design?
- did you chase a ring on the back before sinew-backing? And
- at what point in the tillering process did you sinew back the heartwood bow?

Thanks for posting your build and excellent work!  Much appreciated!
Will
