A bow like that is on top of my list for most useful and fun!  I'm working on a similar one now after having given one as a gift, recently.  Just a little longer at 50" with a knot and a much more pronounced kink by the handle.  Kinda a junk piece of Osage, but, I know it will make a bow that I enjoy as much if not more than some of the beautiful stave bows.

Great job!

I love it, especially the side profile look of that bow.  So thin, so wavy, so bowness!
"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
