Thanks for the nice words guys! Mwosborn, I sealed it with a wipe on poly. Not exactly primitive but very durable and long lasting

 Lee, I'm a fan of good dry hickory. Nice bow and love the color. You can be proud of that one... 8)

Thanks guys. Yeah I have a lot of hickory on my land and a lot of oak. I have some white oak staves that should be dry by now that I'm planning on trying next. Have never used white oak.

Nice job on that bow Lee. Real nice shape and finish and probably shoots well too from the looks of the tiller. I like it!
