Good job on that challenging stave. I love bows with some character.
Cheers

Will: Hey Will. Thank you for those details. I may try my hand at making a replica based of your written description next. I have been curious about having my hands on a nearly circular/ellipse cross section warbow as compared to the squashed rectangle that I have been tending towards at the moment. 10mm tips. That's minuscule! I still wince a bit when stringing up heavy bows on these 12mm tips but obviously they knew what they were doing and mine have been holding up knock on wood. And I believe Jere mentioned 8mm tips on a 130 lb plus warbow of his that have fared well.    Always exciting to have more variations to try.

meanewood: Thank you! And its almost practically near Halloween so Christmas has to be around the corner right?  ;) Interesting point on the marks being from the user and not the bowyer. Definitely makes sense.

B2W: Thank you very much. I do enjoy the wiggles in this bow tremendously.
