Nice work! A heck of a lot of time and talent went into that bow! I like the colors together. I know it's out of your control but it looks like that pesky streaky glass reared its ugly head. Beautiful bow though! will he shoot it or just hang it? Mike

yeah I must have pulled the unlucky card when it came to the glass. Its really not to bad and the guy who is getting it really doesn't mind it either.  It does shoot very well but, I do have a feeling it will hang. Thanks.
