Awesome. I have a bunch that I cut and sealed about 3 years ago for furniture and instruments (makes a great guitar as well). I'll have to start shaping some out although I will have to splice two pieces as everything I cut was around 4x2 by 4' (After checks were removed). Shouldn't be a problem there though. I gotta say this is a fantastic site. Lot of good info!

Hard to tell if its a good looking bow from the full draw. Too much visual noise in the background. I'll use the FD for BOM unless a better one heads my way.

OldBow- I am going to try and get a camera this weekend. Not sure if I could get the pick there in time or not, but I'll see what I can do.

Wow, curly maple for a backing.  Impressive.  I would assume curly maple would have to crazy of grain for a backing.  Good job.
