Hey, sweet bow, I recently made 'Mr Wobbly' just to show how bad a stave you can make a bow of.
I'm a bit unsure of all this 'doesn't look like a Holmgaard' etc...c'mon guys, that Holmgaard is just ONE bow do you think the bowyer who made it did every bow like that???
I think we need to be open to all 'ideas' whilst remembering that every bow is unique.
Find the bow in the stave...as Bart Simpson might say..'be of the stave'

BTW, the shortening toggle on the tillering string is a good trick, just a piece of plywood with two holes in it, allows the string to be progressively shortened, and can even be shot (just for test purposes, if you are as impatient as I am
