was that a rift-sawn board?  the way the grain runs out near the tip makes it look that way...safe though, not to worry.  I've made long hickory bows like this and they last, they look good, and they shoot fast.  God job!

Yeah, radius. My dad built a sawmill and the stave was cut on his mill. He does what he calls "flat cut", which he says is similar to rift-sawn.
