Looks great man!  Great attention to detail.  Been there before Q1: will that tree make good bows Q2: can I hide it?  ;)  cut low and cover the stump with dirt!  ;)  Just sayin.   :P ;D
Thanks,

Nicely done Sir!  I don't recall seeing many red oak stave bows.  It looks good!  Josh

Thanks for the kind words, guys. 

BB - - I agree, it was not me, the wood just needed time to season. 

PAHunter - - I am still laughing - - cause that is exactly what we did, cut low and dirty the stump.  We also had a story all set and ready to go - - it started with something like- -  "Thank god you found us, we were lost and thought we were gonna die . . . ". 

John -  I agree.  I will drop you a line soon - - as soon as spring soccer season gets fully underway and I know which ten minutes of each weekend I get to call my own.  I also got this blacksmithing project I want to talk to you about . . . . .

Beautiful Work! As I recall, the Sudbury Bow was of Red Oak. So you're in respected historic company. :)
