Very cool, i like that one a lot!!!

So you just debarked a sapling or branch then and left all the sapwood on the bow?  I love the decorations on her.

Nice! Like the design and the character. Shure he will dig it  ;)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

lee-  i had a couple of small staves (just to lazy to chase a ring, to hot) so i just used the sapwood .mulberry  sapwoood is real easy to take to much off and  i havent been able to get one over 35#s because of hinges  but its pretty tough , i think  the next one will be heartwood.
