While it's unfortunate it broke. There was so much learned with this bow. I am certain Greg will give it another try. He and I both learned from this attempt. Reviewing the build with several more experienced bowyers/hobbyist than I. The main factor of this breakage was likely moisture content, the other consideration was a little heavy on the long string/floor tiller initially.

Found a new board just waiting on the moisture levels to raise in the house. Then I can work on breaking another one.

Put the tip overlays on the oak board and started floor tillering. Still waiting for the moisture content to rise before i start bending it.
