Nice looking first bow. Congratulations.
Did the Native Americans think about all this that much or just do it?

That looks like a tricky piece of osage for a first stave bow build yet you made it into a nice bow, cool. 8)

Cool bow! Its always good to have one on one help on your first bow, it can be a looooong road without it.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Congratulations, Tower.  A beautiful bow--and even if it did not have our Sasquash as a namesake--it LOOKS like a Sasquatch--gnarly and strong!

Best regards,
