Thanks guys.
Greg, you are absolutely right, I am going to get a decent camera soon. I apologize for the poor quality pics.
White oak is very versatile wood and seems to do well in any design that I have attempted so far.
Sleek, this bow is about 1 3/4" wide at the fades and was made from a quarter split of a 7" diameter tree. It did have a slight crown to it, which isn't a bad thing. If I am working a flatter backed stave of white oak, I would go ahead and trap it. It is very tension strong wood.
