I had a friend leave one strung over his fire place for a year or so. It took lots of set and became a dog But kept the strung shape. But a nice decoration for the fire place.
We had a guy here in Ca that used to make a lot of black locust bows. He was a top notch bow maker. Big Jim. I could never get over how thin the bows were when he finished. I have a feeling yours will be real thin like that. Good sign.

I can't add much to what the others have said, but it is a beautiful bow in every way. As far as black Palm goes, Rich Scaffold made several black palm ELBs back in the day that were very nice. He is also the person that brought the first Ipe to MoJam, which he also used for long skinny ELBs that were very well mannered. It is a beautiful addition to your bow.
I am with WB, weaving something like that is an art of it's on, very nice work. I have a friend in NY [GlennM on here ] that makes them, he use to make them for 3 Rivers, he gave me a small on and a large one, Beautiful work , love them and they are tough. Pappy
