So I've had this stave for awhile its not the best but since spring is creeping up on me I thought I would make a new fishing bow.

I started by removing all the sapwood and chasing it down to the 1st ring under the sapwood.
After that I layed out the profile at the widest its around 1.25in and tappers to 1in its pretty much a board right now and these are not the final dimensions.
Roughly shapped the handle and cut the thickness to .75in
Thanks for the refurbished draw knife bevan

When I got bored and was waiting for some water to start boiling for another project I braided some sinew for the backing. I got about 20ft done. Still need about 60 more feet.
