Awesome!  Good work on a tricky piece to say the least.  I've got some hackberry staves i'm itching to work on that have a very similar profile.  You've inspired me!!  One is already in progress that i have been heating and bending some to even things up a bit.  These character bows are definitely addictive :laugh:

That is mighty neat!  I like the style.  Sometimes it just all works out with those kinks and twists.

...and he not only turns crooked sticks to bows, he makes them heavy weight, long draw and perfect arc!

Thank you very much my friends...bows like this will keep coming- about 70% of my stash are stave like this one. I avoid normal staves, they are borring to me.
Dazv, it is flax.

Druid,

Did you use Flax to Reinforce the limb?
Or is it purely Cosmetic?

There is ugly knot in one limb and I wrapped it. The other one is for symetric look.  :o
