Shure thing nuge if ya dont mind me taking forever to finish something,I just finished the bow yesterday, but i been working on it for about a year now off and on. I shaped it then would put it down for thre3 or so months go back and work on the tiller for a day or so, put it up for another 2 or 3 months .....you get the point. This was kinda my experiment bow b/c i done a few things i had never done before such as the horn nocks, dying the wood and fading colors. Thanks for the comments guys now it off to start another project of some sort. I had thought about working on one and bringing to WAR next year, it may make some good loot

Good looking bow, bam bam. If you brought one like that to the WAR '09, you'd wind up with a good pile of loot I'll bet!
