A few more. Sorry about the poor quality on the full draw pics. it's hard to get good ones with the phone when you're by yourself.

I approve! But, awesome name aside, that is one hell of a bow, and some insane attention to detail  :o Seriously impressive work.

Wow!!!!!
That is some incredible carving! The strikeplate is amazing!
