Lovely bow!  I really like the grip - is it a hide band wrapped around to form the shelf, then the grip-wrap put down over it?

It's Hop horn beam, [not sure on the spelling but you get the picture]HHB. It was about the cleanest pice I have cut. Don't know why I gave it to him. ??? ;) Jon is pretty humble about his bow building but he has came a long way in the last few years. :)

Nice looking HHB you built there. I need to go cut horn beam myself.

Jon, that is a sweet bow. I made one from that non-breakable HHB from Pappy's place a few years ago. I just gave it away to a newbie 3 weeks ago.

Now that's a mighty fine gift to give someone for sure.
