Gotta see this Carson, definitely a one of a kind bow if it works. Good luck, I'll be tuning in to watch this build.

Carson, I have a huge respect for anyone who has the courage to step up to a serious challenge. . years ago I made a bow from a cascara tree that was very similar but a few less curves. I was able to coax a short "all natural" "no heat bend bow that looked like a horn bow. That stave taught me allot. Sometimes the hard path is the best teaching tool. Even if the lesson is "what was I thinking" LOL  Go for it Brother

Was the back facing the sky? I would have went side to side myself, if that was the proper angle. Can't wait to see how she turns out. Clicking the "notify" button so now I'll get alerts on my phone. Now it's time to sit back and watch this madness.
All of us VM guys are gonna be watching this one  ;D
Have fun bro!

"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
