Great job on this bow. The fading stain job is a great idea. Thanks for the idea!

Thanks a bunch guys, I really did put a lot into this one. Although I was hoping for a few things to go differently than they did,  I am still pleased with it.

Thanks Kyle,  I was going for a light brown fade, but I couldn't disagree with the red once it hit the osage.

Thank you Ed and bjrogg, I used white India ink with a dip pen somewhere in the middle of those 8 coats of Tru-oil.

Sorry about that draw length pearly, maybe you will get used to it.

Thank you for all of the comments guys, I really do appreciate it.

Beautiful bow! I'll admit I have been stalking the trade and have been anxious to see yours. Did not disappoint

Wow Aaron that is a beauty. I love everything about it!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

The mail girl just delivered Aaron's bow to me.  All I can say is WOW!  I opened it up and just stood there for probably 10 minutes looking at every inch of it.  I can tell Aaron put a lot of work into it.  The dye job and finish work are amazing.  I really appreciate the amount of time and effort that you put into this bow for me.  It will proudly hang on my bow rack and travel with me to all the shoots that I go to.  It's super humid today.  I'm going to leave the bow in the AC overnight.  I'll string it up and shoot it tomorrow.

I'm dyeing to shoot it.  Tracy is going to be here tomorrow.  I'll wait until he is here to test it out.

That's sweet Osage that means I'll probably get to see it some day.
