Both are very nice. I like the accent lines better on the right one.

The one on the right is the first one I built back in 2014. I’ve hunted with it a lot and decided my old bones needed a lighter weight so I took about 9 pounds off it and reshaped it in a few areas.

If I’m doing a high gloss finish I use DuPont high solids glamour clear.

I got the finish put on the Bloodwood bow over the weekend. I was talking to my wife’s cousin at a family party a few months ago and he showed some interest in traditional archery so I built him a bow to surprise him with.
