Thanks Jawge & Yeti. I really liked working with the Sycamore. I really liked the grain on this board at the lumber yard which is why I picked it up. It's 1/4-sawn and has a cool pattern, should look really nice when I stain it up. I got another piece that wants to be a bow as well. I got another bow in the works though already, was working on it this morning while I was waiting for these tip overlays to fully dry before I start shaping them. I glued up a red oak backed hackberry stave a couple of weeks ago and floor tillered it so I was doing some long string tillering and got it braced at 5". There were some small gaps I could see with the backing and the hackberry so I went in and squirted some superglue in there to let it fill in the gaps, dry and harden today then I'm gonna sand it all down tonight and start working it sometime this week.
