Wow, that is fantastic. That thing has curves on contours on curves. What are the specs on it?

That really is an exceptional looking bow :notworthy:
I think it deserves a prettier arrow rest.

I don't blame you!
Maybe some tiny inlay, something that would not detract from the visual appeal you got going on there.

Seal skin makes a good rest and strike plate. It’s super slick and looks great.

You guys are going to think I'm fruity, but I was thinking about that strike plate last night. Just because that bow is really fantastic looking. The layers made me think of conifer rings and I thought a elongated, narrow drip profile in yellow leather or ??, that looked like it was running down into a puddle on the shelf would be cool. Just an idea. I'm going to go put my Nomex suit on now :cheesy:
