medicinewheel, thats what i was hoping it would do, kind of a faux yew bow. I have a few Englishmen friends around woodring and North London, thought they might like to see it if it turns out O.K.  Phil

Phil, my last selfbow had a ring of sapwood on it. Here it is... http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,16434.0.html
I shot it a bunch before putting copperhead skins over it. Mine was thin ringed also. I think you'll be fine as long as it's sound like everyone else said.
Like Pat said, no sharp pointy objects while sippin' Dano's lemonade. That stuffs potent!! :o
