Joe, That's pretty cool. How does full draw look?
A few years ago someone posted a pic of a tree trunk with a 3 way fork, each a hand carved bow; a recurve, a longbow and a flat bow I think. The builders name slips me but he was pretty well known here on TG back then.

Cool that dude would look good with a lamp shade right below the tip. That buffalo horn?

John Sturdevant is the one that carved the three bow trunk about 10 years ago. Auctioned off at one of the early MOJAM's.

Yes, that carving stuck with me for a long time. So I finally made my own single bow version.

The overlay is Asian water buffalo...

I don't want to be overly critical, but your bottom limb is a little bit stiff!
