Thank you Gentlemen!
I really appreciate all your nice compliments.

I can't wait to work on the second bow, but have little time. This project have to wait a bit, but I like to see how little wood is necessary to increase the drawweight a good amount

Beautiful pair of bows (as usual!), love the attention to detail on the leatherwork, nice folded edges and even stitching. It bugs me whe I see a lovely bow with wonky stitching on the grip ::)

The little one is, for me, picture perfect. Clever idea to show commonality/differences of a sister pair that have quite different specs.

Very beautiful! I always study your work closely, and have learned a lot reading your post and dissecting your pictures. Thanks!
