Nicely done. That bow reminds me of some of the old classic bows that folks used to hunt with here in the Pacific NW back in the early 1900's.

Sweet design.  Looks like it is almost all sapwood in pics.  Is that right?
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso
