Hey, that looks sweet, are you going to cut in a bit of an arrow shelf/window?
The tip/nock is a nice contrast to the pale Hickory.
Is that just a hint of natural recurve on one limb? I seem to always find staves with one limb natural reflex and t'other natural deflex D'oh! It can be confusing during tillering, but adds some interest to the look of the bow (And I can't be bothered to steam them to match :) )

no arrow shelf for this one, its going to be used by right and left handed peoples. LOL @ reflex, good eye. the reflex at the bottom was steamed in, i tried heat on the top but it came out and i didnt feel like redoing it.

thanks
