Actually, I doubt it was your board selection. Could be, but I don't think so. More likely a design flaw. Without even thickness taper, it's going to be overstressed where there's the least amount of wood... right where it broke.

Oh well.  On to the next thing.  Come over and see me, we'll see if we can start you on a stave and get you a real stable design to cut your teeth on.

Generous offer indeed. Take him up on it! Making your first bow with a mentor is much better and way more successful.
