The bow will be finished to suit the successful winner with riser and grip cut to suit a left or right handed archer an final sanding with a clear coat finish.
This is not the perfect bow as I'm still experimenting with designs, materials and learning how to be a bowyer but for the chance to win a bow for $10 then its a bargain.
