It seems like we are missing so many bow posts!

Well I've decided to post pictures of each stage of my build.

Tonight I got the rest of the sapwood off.  (holy crap) it's been a while since I've done this. I forgot how tough this stuff is. I have the back fairly roughly to one ring. I'm going to reduce the stave to a little more "bow"  shape. Then chase the next ring down.
I've found the bow in this can you! Hint, it's got character! Patrick

You're funny Kevin! I'm glad that you made "Untamed" out of that knotty stave! It definitely has some character!  Patrick
