Howdy N. Pirate,

What widths do you have on that board bow - at the fades, mid-limb, and near the tips?

My red oak board bows are about 2" wide until mid-limb, yours seem much narrower?

Thanks, and good luck,
Canoe

Well it's still 90% humidity and raining, I won't spray a finish untill I'll be able to put this bow in the backing sun for a couple of days ;D ;D

Here's where I'm so far, I'm really happy by the retained sligth reflex :)

What kind of glue did you use for the backing?
