Toomanyknots did it, in the later pics you can tell that he used the sapwood as the back

here are some better pics of the knots and lower limb:






I left "caps" of the previous growth ring on top of the knots. I had to break out the chisel set to get the back to one growth ring. hopefully I'll have more pics later

Ok after a brief hiatus I'm back to working on my bow.
Today has been slow as I have been trying to straighten it out with dry heat.
here are the pics:




If this goes well I'll be tillering in about a week or so after it rehydrates     ;D
