Wow I can see why people like board bows, that string is almost perfectly center the whole length of the bow, how long did it take to find a board with straight grain like that?

i got the board in a trade with another member here when there was the trading forum, i cant remember who it was so if that someone wants to jump in and take partial credit please do. my next project is a red oak board bow.
