Very nice bow as always Cody!

I really liek your choice in woods, but the thing that stands out in my opinion is the quality of the workmanship.

Great job on everything from the overall lines to the little details like where the shelf meets the sight window at the belly side  .... those are the tricky spots that separate the wheat from the chaff ...

As nice as those pictures are I find those two woods have subtle tones and figure that are tough to capture...bet that is one of the nicest bows you have ever created...keep them coming

Tenbrook, would you mind posting a pic of the laminate on each limb? Possibly two pics, each a pic of each limb in full? Beautiful work!

That's a great looking bow.  My wife shoots the lights out with her Tenbrook and I'm looking forward to mine.  Keep up the good work!

Tenbrook, 2 things I notice besides the awesomeness of your work:
1 the nicely dished shelf, really cool design trait.

2 no thumb groove... Can you post a pic of your hand gripping that bow absent thumb groove? Very interesting
