Very cool!  What is the wood?  Looks like mulberry sapwood and heartwood.

Now that sure has some character...
Is that a peep sight? Or do you screw a stabiliser rod in there >:D.
Do you have special S shaped arrows to shoot from it? ;D
Love it!

Now THAT'S why I like this hobby.  You made a bow out of something nobody would ever think could be a bow.  One of a kind, bud.

Thats character beyond character!  It almost looks melted in a way... Very nice work.
