I should have bow done Sunday night..then I'll get some better pictures. Going gloss finish on this one, its going to Helens dad in California. It will be his first bow and a late Christmas present from me. I bought this Sapele 4 or 5 years ago..if I'd known how great it looks under Glass I d have one or two built for myself.
