full draw  

That's a beauty.

I had a bit of a problem with paint on my recent bow; I used oil based paint, not realizing that the finish would make it streak... The first coat was difficult but I was able to get it done without any smears. I assume you didn't have these problems. I need to learn how to flip tips for my next wood bow; that's something I'd like to try.

Nice job, hope she likes it.

thanks John , ive only used acrylics havent had any probs with it.nothing to flippin tips ,i steam and bend by hand so i can feel the wood , let them cool completely before tillering

Very nice Ken! One of my favorite profiles.......Art
