It took alot of skill and no small amount of confidence to make a bow from such an unpromising stave. Your hand work is outstanding, especially the nocks.

That looks like a beauty
The only thing I would say is be careful cutting arrow shelves into wood bows like that. The arrow shelf is a stress riser = the shape concentrates stress in the angle. On modern bows I beams are added to the riser to allow shelves to be cut, either that or the bow needs to be thicker where the widow is. I only mention it because I've seen wood bows fail at the shelf and it is an easy mistake to avoid
