I'm a sucker for flipped up tips, and those are about as nice as they get. Such graceful lines - what a beautiful bow.

What kind of cordage did you use for the handle?

I really like that bow.  Great tips, tiller, finish and handle.  I'm also a fan of shortish bows like this one for hunting.

Thanks again guys I had great time making this one.
Gordon,  The handle wrap is a sort of braded material that I found in a local arts and crafts store.  At first the ladies in the store thought it was cute that "I'm doing arts and crafts" they wanted to know what I'm making.....mabey a little needle point? making pillows? When I tell them bows and arrows they just look at me like I'm nutty.
It's pretty funny!
Thanks again.
