Nice bow 2nd self or not!
Looking at that 2nd pic one extra ring would have been plenty and you could make the 'island' smaller but those are only minor points.
Good job.

  Looks good for your second bow. With osage you could have taken your tips down to 3/8 and it pick up a little speed. If build the bow for myself I always build straight limb selfbows. For hunting you can't go wrong. I make all my bows useing the KISS method.
