Very cool Simon, what an incredible bow. I really like the horn spliced into the tips.

I never believe a cat does fall off a chair!
(in fact, you're one of my favorite bowyers; just look at the link listing on my site)
This one goes up there in my top favorite bows I've seen from you Simon! Very very cool!!

Will, I know you're the man for snaky sticks and some of yours are in my list also!

Wow you really did give that one a second life! Looks really nice with the snaky shape and I love the white you used to lighten up the ray skin. Now I really feel the need to have a go at a takedown :laugh:

Let me add something about the td sleeve, maybe someone is interested in:

This are homemade sleeves from a pipe with 42mm diam.. I had no matching pipe handy for an inner tube, so I used the same pipe, cut out a strip of about 4mm lengthwise and bent it again to a circle. Both parts were bent then the vice. In this case I cut the inner tube in an 45° angle, of course the wood in the outer sleeve is also cut in that angle. This little trick works great!

For glueing in epoxi is best, because of gap filling.

Simon I do believe you could make a bow out of anything. If you lived in the states I would mail you some old hand split tobacco sticks and I bet they would become some of the nicest bows we've ever seen. Great job!

outstanding!  I think I like everything about it...and I am picky.  Thanks for sharing.  I also thank you for the sleeve trick, as I was going to ask how you made it.
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...
