Nice looking bend Howard. All you gotta do now is ask for a better camera on your next b-day or anniversary so we can admire your
fine bows better. >:D >:D >:D They deserve more buddy.

Nice! Inspires me to work more on the fire killed white oak stave I cut last November. How wide is it and how much crown does it have?

Thanks guys.
 
Greg, you are absolutely right, I am going to get a decent camera soon.  I apologize for the poor quality pics. :( 
 
White oak is very versatile wood and seems to do well in any design that I have attempted so far. 

Sleek, this bow is about 1 3/4" wide at the fades and was made from a quarter split of a 7" diameter tree.  It did have a slight crown to it,  which isn't a bad thing.  If I am working a flatter backed stave of white oak,  I would go ahead and trap it.  It is very tension strong wood.

Howard, any pics you post of your bows are great, just saying the quality of the pics aren't up to the fine quality of your bows. When
we meet up at the classic I'll get some pics taken of your bows on my camera to show them off a little better. :laugh:
