Looks like Jimmy hasn't missed too many meals lately. Glad to see he's still at it with his bow building. Years ago I had one of Gary's bow staves. It was a long narrow ELB style stave.

It appears you are very fortunate to have a stave that long, as well as a stave that hasn't checked/cracked badly. A lot of comments online about how badly it checks and how rare it is to find anything over 50-60" long. Supposed to be super tough wood if you can keep it from checking. Native Americans used it for all kinds of tools (ie: arrows) - early settlers made nails/pegs out of it.
Really like the shape you went with.
