Actually that stave was harvested last September. It had been stored with the bark on and I decided to take the bark off and store it. I’ve got 1 or 2 more staves to debark, also have 3or4 billets that need the bark removed. I did spray the bark with a pesticide and didn’t see any issues with insects but I didn’t want to chance it. I do have a couple bows in the works I hope to finish up soon. Hopefully you’ll see them in the junior bow trade. That stave might be okay it’s got a little bit of a funny shape but it’s pretty much knot free. Rings are nice on one side and get thinner as they go from one side to the other.. worse case I’ll have to back it with something..

Sorry, but I forgot I gave my bow horse away a few years ago. I use a Stave Master now.
 I used an 10' 2x10 cut across at 6" so I have a 6" and 4" pieces . The 6' piece is the seat/base  and the 4" is the slanted piece that the knucklehead with foot peddle was attached. The legs I used an 8' 2x4 and plastic saw horse brackets to attach the four 2' legs.
Sorry, I don't have any pics. I do think there are how to's on YouTube.

That’s a nice shave horse, I wouldn’t have guess you threw it together with some scrap, the explanation does help a lot, I think I might be able to pull this off.

Thanks pat, id appreciate that
