Red Oak Stave (as yet unnamed)

At brace during tillering

 

Was a work in progress, now just about finished with 4 coats of urethane on...few more to go, and then a handle wrap.

 

Pulling 55 @ 28" with about 2" set which is amazing since its 61 inches overall, and only about 1.25: wide. I was expecting more like 4" set..J

 Here it is at half draw
