Wow!  Such an overwhelming response!

   I was a little unsure of the cherry bark at first, but I will surely put it on my future bows . Since most of my materials are sourced from tree's that are doomed (engineered/approved logging blocks)  I don't feel too guilty striping the bark. ( cherry is left to rot , no market value.)

   All these great comments give me the confidence to keep building bows for a long time.  I'll put the time in to upload my future exploits.

 Thanks Everyone!

Definitely keep at it! You have a knack for it, that is obvious. 

Very nice ocean spray bow.  Lovely character and fine finish work.
"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
