That looks very nice.  I like the combination of the backing and overlay.  Looks like a really nice bow.

Very good looking bow.  Always want to do a bark backed bow.  You may just have pushed me over the edge.

Much appreciated gentlemen.  :)

Parnell, it's a doug fir shaft I made with a bandsaw jig, sandpaper and a heatgun. It's got a store-bought field point glued into a hole I drilled and wrapped w/ sinew, and the fletching is turkey feathers.  (SH)

Still getting the hang of this arrow thing. It's an art all to itself.
