@DaveMac

well, "Obama" is said to had "yes, we can" in his campain ...
(that's funny enough )

and yes, chasing a ring on black locust is common too ... talked with a guy and he said
he used only the core wood and this must be true because his Molly was of one colour

@bubby

so, what's wrong with making a board out of a tree ....
at least for me , this is very confusing now .... just one step in between

[bubby]

Well making a "board" from a tree stave can be done, but why when it has a perfectly good back built in unless you eant to laminate it somehow with a backer or to make a trilam and if you are going to do that why not just buy boards, but it's no skin off my nose if you want to do it by all means proceed

for not running into danger of being off topic ...

but that thing is already on brace height ... something around 4.5" ....

the ends could definitly be better , but i'll do the cosmetics later

the unfinished bow is made out of maple (acer pseudoplatanus) and the ends
of black locust ( robinia pseudoacacia) along with other woods and common wood glue

yeah, and i could use some sand paper .... (will do so later)
