I approve! But, awesome name aside, that is one hell of a bow, and some insane attention to detail  :o Seriously impressive work.

Your generosity and good heart makes you welcome here any day, buddy!  Some of us have not forgotten that.

And many of us are not going to forget this bow when we are hit with the urge to turn out something fancy.  Mind you, we will likely feel a little intimidated, but that is good for ya! Thanks for raising the bar a half dozen notches!

One should never feel intimidated by another's work . If you like it , be inspired ! I've been inspired by a great many influences in my life , all because someone shared ! I'm simply returning the favour , as does everyone on here .
   Thanks for looking , thanks for sharing and I hope you enjoyed !

Exemplary work sir!  I always enjoy seeing what you do with otherwise simple wooden bows.  It is indeed inspiring!  Josh
