Very nice!  At the risk of turning this into another how to, how did you do the finger grips?

Ron, I outlined my fingers on the grip with a pencil and then used a half round file.

Its beautifle. How does it shoot? I love bamboo, no stacking.

Thanks fella's. It shoots nice and smooth. I glued it up in Perry Reflex 2". It ended up with a half inch of set. 62", one and three eight's to mid limb,to half inch tips. I'm helping a buddy make one now.BBO with Wenge/maple/Zebrawood riser.With the Osage belly it should end up with no set.Sorry,this post should be over in Bowyers Bench,but my gang is here.
