Great looking bow.  The contrast of the maple and cherry bark is very pleasing.  Good work.

Acker, nice bow.  Really like the profile and of course, the cherry backing looks great.

Very cool bow and nice gift.  I love working with cherry bark. I've done a few in the last few years.
Blacktail, the cherry strips from around the tree so you need a pretty big diameter cherry tree to get suitable backing strips unless you want to splice them and that works too.

Love these truly primitive bows. Any chance of a better full draw? Like stand closer to the camera or zoom to you. and no backlight?
