I really like the static tips. Did you follow a build-along/tutotial to learn the process, or did you make it up yourself? If it's a build-along could you share the link and if it's your own process would you consider making one? I really like them but it's hard to see what you did with everything blacked out.

It's my own design and they are hard to make.
I need to do some testing on it first.

How long have you been making Fiberglass bows?

I haven't even started, just wanted to know for future reference.
 But if it's a pain to make a build along, or if it's something you'd rather keep to yourself I understand
