Probably my Blacktail Snakebit, but my RER LXR has prettier limb veneers.

   

   

   

My pride and joy - an RER LXR with matching longbow and recurve limbs.

My fanciest bow was also a Snakebit variant...the limb veneers were some gorgeous koa the owner brought from Hawaii...I gave up trying to post pics with my Chromebook here some time ago

I was just going to say that if Danny chimes in with Love Potion No. 9, there won't be much competition left.

That is the bow that always comes to mind when I think functional art.  That one ranks tops on my list of prettiest bows I've ever seen, and I would still hunt with it if it graced my rack.

Not mine, but one certain to give Danny a run for his money.  Blacktail Legacy Series.  If you have to ask the price you probably can't afford it!

These are truly beautiful bows! They are both art and working tools, a fantastic combination of characteristics.

They are all beautiful. But Norbert, there is just something about your bows that make me want to try my hand at building a 3 piece!   :thumbsup:

Wow, those are some amazing bows!

This one looks a little plain by comparison but here's my Wapiti.  Wenge and Zebrawood with Bamboo limbs.

Keep 'em coming!
