Nice bow!  I have a board of canary wood that I bought on a whim and remember being blown away by the wood database figures when i checked later.  Still need to get that glued up.   More pics please...

Good looking bow.  Tiller looks perfect.  Where does canary wood grow?  I've never worked with it.
