Nice looking bows. What is the backing?

Thats awesome! Nice job. I'm curious about the backing also and the handle wrap?

Thanks all. The backing is just black linen glued on with TB3. Painted flat black then a few coats of polyurethane. Handle is leather soft side out.

Linen is a good backing and you did a very nice job of applying and finishing it.   :thumbsup:

Thank you very much I appreciate it. Had a great time shooting with him today. At 20# he can barely draw it, he's only 7. But it should last him quite a while.
