I think you need to flip that right end to match the left one.  >:D

Good luck.

I started mine today also, Drums.  (LOL)   :laugh:    It's of very similar design.  I was thinking that some sinew might pull it into a bit more reflex.  I think I'll process some up during the big game tomorrow.   ;) ;)     :-X

That stave may be a bit "not straight".....at all, but it only has about 8-9 rings throughout the 3" depth. Very nice dark orangey piece! I got five back sinews ready to rock and or roll last night as well. Course I will have to let that dry for a weeks...............boring........

Com'on guys, you're falling behind.  >:D

I need about 8 more inches of draw with a little more wood removal and shaping, but so far, so good. 

I do believe this peice of wood wants to be a bow.  ;)
