Thanks, rps3. Thanks, half eye. I do try to keep the stave the way it is. Thanks, Stick Bender.
Very kind words, busboy and barbo. Thanks, Pat B. I am discovering I am not the only one slowing. Lord willing we have more bows to make.

Jawge! Just saw this one. Gorgeous bend, and nice profiles!

Well done!  Two or three per year sounds pretty good to me!

Excellent! I love a simple white wood bow.

Very nice George, nice to see your work. Way to get a challenging stave to bend.
