The bamboo backed  will look awesome.  I like the texture sinew give to a bow, also.  I'll be keeping an eye out for all of them.

J-- have you made any more bows out of Gambel oak? I am finding these older posts doing a search for Gambel oak -- now that I live in Gambel oak country.

Don’t forget about linen backing; cheap, easy, and ridiculously strong. In my experience it’s quite a bit stronger than rawhide and much easier to apply. Just throw a faux or real snakeskin over the linen and you have a really nice bow.

Hmmmm..... also from Utah, and I'm not totally convinced that it was down to the humidity.  ???  Totally COULD be.  Sometimes the grain on scrub oaks spirals or zigzags.  Your tiller looks good... I wonder...
