Thanks for your compliments guys :)

I dont know the sort of cherry - it is growing in the forest in my neighbourhood. I took the bark from dead trees cause you can take off the bark more easy when the tree is dead for a couple of month.
I glued it on with resorcin glue.
All in all very hard work with the bark to put it on.

And here are the FD pics:

Great bow!  Cherry bark is such a beautiful backing.  Looks like you've good some good material there too.  Great tiller by the way.  Where do you live?  Pacific Northwest?
