Lol.  Too funny.  Thanks PD,  my wife says I’m the worst kind of ocd.  Not the neat and tidy kind. 🌝.  Every once in a while I’ll tidy up a bit as it’s too much chaos even for me.

Here the bow out of its form this morning.  No surprises. All looks good and alignment is corrected.  The only thing I am not sure about is the Color of my sapwood.  Like I mentioned earlier it’s a caremel Color.  You can see the two tones that are predominantly dispersed throughout the entire back.  I’ve made efforts to carefully card scrape down to a single sap ring which is next to impossible and still a Color variance.  Is this a concern beyond aesthetics??? Anyone ever see this before?  This is my first encounter with this much. In the past I’ve have the odd spot with this sort of thing but usually able to scrape down a bit to remove most of it.  Open so suggestions here.  Should I just leave it and carry on with it or is this a performance issue?   Thanks

Kidder:
Gonna be awesome! Nice work Dave!

Mi exactly the same. I'm OCD when it comes to prying a bow from a stave. I have a one track mind and nothing else around me matters until I'm holding a complete bow. Tools and wood curls everywhere.

So true!  My wife has to force feed me basically as I get hyper focused sometimes in what I’m doing I forget to eat.  It’s a good thing she’s around or might starve.  Lol
