What is the accent on the back under the leather, it really sets off the bow.  Great work.

Spalted pecan overlay on the back. I wish I could have come up with enough to get the riser made with the spalting.

I've got the blueprints for that bow!  I've just never built the form yet, I've been too busy building Take Down Recurves. You have me wanting to build one for myself now!

Awesome bow and really great craftsmanship!
