Same as above  :o

But if it’s not to much to ask would you mind saying what wood was used for what part of the bow? I’m far from building a horn bow but I am curious.

Very beautiful work.  The bow is amazing enough, but the finish painting always amazes me when it is this good.

True art! The colors, the curves and the bows weight (only544 gram for such a heavy bow) An inspiration for sure, also love the white leather touches, really wraps it together nicely!
