Sometimes it pays off, stepping out of the ranks. White oak is my preference over red. Both grow all around my home.White oak seems to me like ash. Makes a pretty bow. I like the simplicity of your bow, nice lines. Great job. Denny

there's something about white oak that looks natural & primitive- i like it! it looks like it belongs out in the woods to me.

Outstanding!  "Refined Simplicity".

Great package the whole thing. The choice of handle wrap doesnt alf set the whole thing off too.
I have a very very snakey oak stave roughed out so this has given me a push to get on with it. Never tried it before either.

a beautyful bow! very nice! IT was certainly worth giving it another go.

What's that you wrapped the handle with?

And that rock is just amazing. I have never seen anything alike.

Very nice bow.  Great photos of it too...looks right at home in your local woods.

Dude that's a NICE bow!  I really like the handle.  The over all look is just really cool!  Good job!
