Well I've never done a bow build along and decided to start a new one today to burn off some steam. This is a stave I got in a trade and I am going to have some fun with it or it's going to have some fun with me rather. I like a snakey stave and I like a stave with some bend, but this is probably the craziest piece of Osage I've tried yet. I have it down to one ring but the late to early ratio is pretty thin so I may take it down to one of the thicker rings further down.I think it's going to be  fun, interesting and a lesson when it's finished.






This is a borer hole that would probably disappear if I take it down to one of the thicker rings. I don't think it would hurt even if it doesn't since it's in the handle.

Cool, my kind-a wood.  It's got some twist and tight rings.  Personally once I get a good ring end to end I'm done with the back.  I don't care how thin the rings are.  That's going to be a nice bow.
