Osage Eastern Woodland D Bow Buildalong (Please Be Patient-This'll take A While)

I don't know if this will look a little bit clearer.

I'm also wondering if anyone has ever layed out the width on the back of the bow, cut it out and then continued to chase a ring? Or should I establish the final growth ring first and then cut it to proper width?

I've done that a few times since it makes it so you have a lot less wood to chase on. Just make sure that you have plenty of thickness to work with along the whole length of the bow.
