Amen to all the above comments. Way to go. That one should make some meat. I bet the bug holes gives it some real character too.

Very nice. You did well.
Often times being a bowyer involves "fixes". :)

 "I bet the bug holes gives it some real character too."

  Definitely a different KIND of character than usual.

  To be honest, I will confess, I have a secret weapon.  I was worried that there might have been some bore holes I couldn't see, so I took it to work and x-ray'd the stave.   ;D ;D  But, it looks like the bugs just came in from the sides of the untrimmed stave, leaving me JUST enough to work with.  \

Thanks everyone, for the kind words.  I've made a decision to post more of my stuff.
