Great Job!  That looks like a perfect thickness of sapwood.  Why not just cover the entire rawhide with a nice snake skin if you are unhappy with the patch?  Cherry Bark also looks awesome as a backing on a yew bow.

>>Why not just cover the entire rawhide with a nice snake skin<<

I thought about that Joe but I don't have 68" (two 34" pieces) of snakeskin but I did have a 10" leftover piece of bullsnake. (I'm cheap, see Tightwad posts ;D)
Plus, this turned into a marathon project due to my poor horn nock skills and I was ready to be finished with it.
I really kind of like the rawhide look since it doesn't take away from the beauty of the wood.

  Cool looking bow Bob.I know what you mean about the tips. After the first one I'm still thinking about the ERC in the works.
