Pearly, you can put me down for a classic PD static.  :)
I haven't zeroed in on any single stave yet. I have been going through a lot but havent had one really call out to me yet. There is this one pair of yew billets though...

The weather turned back cold so I stayed inside and did a lot of rasping on my trade bow.  I cleaned up the edges and then started on the limb taper.  This red osage is some dense wood.  The limbs are barely bending when trying to check the floor tiller.  It doesn't take much wood to get a good bow from this stuff.






It has thin rings so the belly should end up looking pretty cool.

It's got some weight to it.  There is still a lot of extra meat in the handle so that is adding to it.

Hate to steal away from the thread but I just got some shocking news from a guy named James  and wanted to verify its authenticity.
