the Ferret:
wow, I would not have thought that possible, but that's what's really neat about this bow building game. Lots of "rules" get broken and turn into nice bows.

Good job!

Aram:
Beatyful bow, great tiller...  thanx for sharing. I love the natural birch on black combo.
So , is it backed? How much set? How wide?
Thank you again,
Aram

thanks guys i like the black and birch combo to the black makes the birch and the moose antler tips jump right at ya. the bow took a 1 1/2 of set after allmost a month of shooting. I wanted to make shure she was going to hold together before I posted. I was shooting her for a wile unbacked but I liked her so much I backed her just in case with some drywall tape 4 layers thats why I painted it. I wanted some snake skin but I couldnt get any the bow is 1 3/4 at the fades and tapers from the fades to 1/2 tips. glad you all like it  

here is a better pic of the handle and you can see the taper better
