Looks like a beauty. I just started my second crabapple with intentions of tempering it too, but I cut through a growth ring with my scraper, and just set it aside for now. I will get back to it later. Maybe you will get one tempered first and see how it works out.

That's a cool bow, Bryce.  Came out very nice.  But isn't half of it mine?  I'll let you pick which half I get. :)

Wow great job Bryce.  Yet another that is an inspiration to try other woods to see how they pan out. 
Did you end up staining the back or is that natural?

Matt

all natural

is it bad? i had a couple spots near the handle that where violated seem to be alright, better safe than sorry though. very good tension wood.
