Hey Roy, How are you Ol Boy.  You did that stave very well indeed! My wife is still drooling over that buckskin shirt hanging on your wall.  She got a good chuckle out of your story of you thinking you were going to cut it up into leggings. :o

Stunning - very nice Keenan. Can't wait for My stave to get here - hope I can do it justice. Bob

 Thank you all for the nice compliments.

Dwardo, The tips are Zebra wood. Looks like I forgot to give any details to this bow. I'll get the frist page modified.

Bob, Your stave is a sister stave and very simlar to this one.

I'll get some pictures of the belly and maybe a video of shooting herup today
