Beautiful! That only cost you 45 bucks!?! Their site says they sell staves like that for 200 - 250!?! I would take your time with that stave. No need to rush. Thats the kinda stave that will let you sleep sweetly at night after your favorite bow you put 1000's of hours into blows up out of nowhere, knowing you got this beauty tucked away safely. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: It is very nice. Looks like you can just remove the bark and make a bow with the sapwood only 1/4". Very nice and straight as well.

Yep that is a nice stave, I was going to bid but the postage to the UK put me off.
I would echo the sentient of toomanyknots your don't need to make that bow now, we have seen your bows you seem to be getting the hang of it but why not wait a few years hone your abilities a little and make it then. You will thank yourself for it.
