Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

Beautiful, especially for it is only your 2nd!

...BUT:

I would not trust an overlay with that orientation of grain, and I would not trust zebrano for overlays at all!!! While back had one splintering (purple heart that was, but with better orientation of grain), string got stuck in the damaged overlay, bow needs retillering now.

Frank, thanks.  And thanks for the warning.  I have no previous experience with zebra wood as overlay material, but I have had some experience with the grain orientation and have not encountered any problems with that on my board bows.  I will certainly watch out for it.  Wonder if anyone else can comment on this, material and grain orientation?
