Sorry!     ::) You'll have to wait till I get the skins and some finish on for more pictures. This bow turned out pretty well for a sliver of a belly split, it's pretty thin, 52" 40# @28". Here's Moma, this is a stave I got from Marty Horn at MOjam, thanks Marty, she's a beauty.

That one's wicked looking Dano!  A set of skins will really set it off.  Don't leave it lay or someone will be liable to shoot it.

Thanks guys, I put some canebreak skins on her today. It's a little bit of a challenge to get the skins to run along with the profile of the limbs. But man its so worth it. ;)

I put some left over canebreaks on and 6 coats of tru-oil. Tiller probably could have been better, the upper limb had a pretty good woop de doo, that kept the limb flat in that area.
