For board bows, a small block plane would be much better.

Like WGoat said, rasp is much safer, maybe a little slower, not sure on that but much safer.

Working wood like that, which I try to avoid, with a Draw knife I use the blade of a straight knife at a 90dg angle to the wood and pull like a big Cabinet Scraper. You can roll off some big curls doing this and not worry about digging in.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.
