Nice bow!
Ekki is a great belly wood if you can get it to dry without checking. I have a 6 x 1.5 x 8 ft perfect board of it but any attempt to speed up drying is a disaster

Now it's just sitting about going slow!

I am fatter than 2years ago. Today i had a dinner with a couple vietnamese in a viet restaurant. the vietnam food was really light that i only remember the vegetables and some pickles and rice noodle and maybe a little chicken~ OMG, how could such a meat eating chinese man like me bear that? No wonder all the vietnamese i met were skinny. I love meat, really.
